A lava lake within Halema‘uma‘u produced nighttime glow that was visible via HVO’s Webcam during the past week. The lava lake level rose during the week, reaching about 40 m (130 ft) below the rim of the Overlook crater by Thursday, June 12.
On KÄ«lauea’s East Rift Zone, the Kahauale‘a 2 flow remains active. The flow front stalled at 8.8 km (5.5 miles) northeast of its vent on Pu‘u ‘Ō‘Šin mid-May. On Friday, June 6, the most distant active flows were 6.5 km (4.0 miles) northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘Å. Several small spatter cones within the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘Šcrater also continued to produce glow.
There was one earthquake in the past week with more than 3 felt reports. On Friday, June 6, 2014, at 4:42 p.m., HST, a magnitude-4.1 earthquake occurred 5 km (3 mi) southeast of the town of Maunaloa, Moloka`i, at shallow depth.
