Pu'u O'o remains quiet, and according to a new report may not erupt again, rather lava is moving into the middle ERZ:
Statistically, after a 210 day (7 month) gap in activity, it is extremely unlikely that lava will resume activity within Pu#699;u #699;#332;#699;#333;. Based on historical knowledge of rift zone eruptions, pauses lasting more than 3½ months have ended their respective eruption.
This does not mean K#299;lauea Volcano is dead. New eruptions have previously begun elsewhere on K#299;lauea after months to decades of quiet. Magma is being supplied to the volcano, and deformation data shows evidence for movement of molten rock through the magmatic system, refilling the middle ERZ.
