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 dropped during the week, and was 40–45 m (~130–150 ft) below the rim of the Overlook crater on Thursday, July 10.
On KÄ«lauea’s East Rift Zone, the June 27 breakout continues to build a low shield, topped by a lava pond on the northeast flank of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘Å. Overflows from the pond, and breakouts from the base of the levee around the pond, fed small flows that rarely reached the base of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘Å.
There were no earthquakes in the past week reported felt on the Island of Hawai‘i.
