Loading ...I’m waiting for some surfer to fashion something out of NASA heat shield material and take an eight mile ride to the ocean.
Here is where the eastbound river takes a turn to the south around Kapoho crater… that green circular hill.
Lava speed is approx 15 mph coming out of the crater. Flow slows as it spreads out near the shoreline. Volcanic flow steady at 400,000 cubic yards per day. 9.25 square miles have been paved over with lava so far in this eruption. Sulfur Dioxide venting 18,000 tons per day from this vent, another equal amount coming out of the summit crater, makes for intense Vog downwind. Nasty blue haze that stings the eyes, nose, and throat. Courtesy USGS.
Rock Steady… going with the flow.
