HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii – Scientists are keeping an eye on an active lava flow that has crawled nearly 5 miles from Pu’u O’o crater. Its a slow lava flow, moving a mere 100 feet a day. But unlike the majority of the lava flows associated with the 31 year eruption on the volcanic East Rift Zone, this flow is going towards the northeast. Usually, the lava heads south, downhill towards the ocean. That means this lava is slowly heading towards populated Puna mauka subdivisions.
(*Snipped) The US Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says there is no need for alarm right now, but they have been running the data on possible scenarios. Some of those findings were discussed at the recent After Dark in the Park talk at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
