Magma is on the move. Detailed info at the link.
The patterns of surface deformation show that the dike extends from the established vent area in Halemaʻumaʻu and cuts across the northwestern part of Kaluapele. The deforming areas following parallel to the western rim of Halemaʻumaʻu and Kaluapele are very narrow and elongate, mapping the path of magma intruding within a thousand feet (about 300 meters) or less of the surface. The path of the dike follows fractures in the caldera floor that formed in 2018 and created a series of new, small fractures that were identified on other satellite images.
