(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)
KÄ«lauea’s summit lava lake level, which fluctuates in response to summit inflation and deflation, varied this past week between about 63 and 70 m (207–230 ft) below the vent rim within Halema‘uma‘u Crater.
KÄ«lauea’s East Rift Zone lava continues to feed widespread breakouts northeast and east of PuÊ»u ʻŌʻÅ. All active lava remains within about 8 km (5 mi) of PuÊ»u ʻŌʻÅ. The most distant breakouts are evident by the smoke plumes produced by burning vegetation along the edge of the flow field.
No earthquakes were reported as felt on the Island of Hawai‘i this past week.

Time-lapse movie from images gathered from a temporary thermal camera looking into Pu’u ‘O’o Crater. The temperature scale is in degrees Celsius up to a maximum of 500 Celsius (932 Fahrenheit) for this camera model, and scales based on the maximum and minimum temperatures within the frame. Thick fume, image pixel size and other factors often result in image temperatures being lower than actual surface temperatures. August 6-13, 2015. Images courtesy of USGS/HVO
