The cinder cone constructed through lava spattering around fissure 8 is by now 55 m (180 ft) tall at its highest point, mostly hiding the lava fountains which only occasionally rise above it.

Update Fri 14:13Kilauea's LERZ eruption continues in much the same way as it has since lava flows from fissure 8 reached the ocean at Kapoho at the start of June. The summit caldera continues to undergo subsidence, characterized by a remarkably stable pattern of gradual build-up of seismic activity released in a magnitude 5+ quake at roughly 12 hours intervals, and resulting additional collapse of the crater floor and adjacent areas. Occasional minor lava emission had also been observed from other fissures up to about 2 weeks ago last time. The southern margin of the flow remains about 500 m (0.3 mi) from the boat ramp at Isaac Hale Park however, a new lobe has started from the southern lobe and is active along its southwestern margin slowly heading toward the ocean." (HVO) Overflows from this channel and resulting secondary lava flows so far have been minor, and mostly confined to the existing lava flow field and not damaging any new homes.Īs of yesterday, "the most vigorous ocean entry was located a few hundred meters northeast of the southern flow margin with a few tiny pahoehoe toes entering the ocean from the Kapoho Bay lobe to the north. (image 22 July: HVO / USGS)During the past weeks, the lower east rift zone eruption has been continuing without really significant changes: around the main vent (fissure #8), a large cinder has been built by the continuous fountaining during the first weeks), and magma erupted from there has been flowing through a now well-established perched wide channel towards the new ocean entry at Kaphoho, where new land is being formed. On the caldera floor, white patches lie along spatter ramparts formed in 19. The height of the bank, now more than 65 m (213 ft), increases about 2.5 m (9 ft) with each collapse event at Kīlauea's summit. As the caldera floor dropped in mid-June 2018, South Sulphur Bank was again exposed. The flat top of the white deposit shows how high the caldera fill reached. Collapse of Kīlauea's caldera floor has exposed South Sulphur Bank, prominent in the mid-19th century but covered as lava flows filled the caldera.
