Kīlauea Volcano Lower East Rift Zone
Vigorous eruption of lava continues from the lower East Rift Zone (LERZ) fissure system in the area of Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens.
Fissures 7 and 8 remain the most active eruptive centers of the system and have been feeding lava flows that have advanced northeast onto PGV property. At about 7:00 PM HST, a fast-moving lava flow broke from this area and advanced rapidly to the north and west through the eastern portion of Leilani Estates. Several residents were evacuated in advance of the dangerous and fast-moving flows.

Activity at Fissure 22 has waned, and Fissure 13 is the dominant source of lava entering the ocean, which is occurring at three minor entry points. Fountaining is occurring at Fissure 8.
HVO field crews are on site tracking the fountains, lava flows, and spattering from multiple fissures as conditions allow and reporting information to Hawaii County Civil Defense. Crews are also checking on the status of ground cracks on Highway 130.
Volcanic gas emissions remain very high from the fissure eruptions. Trade winds are weakening, and widespread vog is expected on the Island of Hawaii on Monday.
Magma continues to be supplied to the lower East Rift Zone. Earthquake locations have not moved farther downrift in the past few days and the number of located earthquakes remains low.
Additional ground cracking and outbreaks of lava in the area of the active fissures are possible. Residents downslope of the region of fissures should heed all Hawaii County Civil Defense messages and warnings.
USGS/HVO continues to monitor the lower East Rift Zone activity 24/7 in coordination with Hawaii County Civil Defense.

 

Kīlauea Volcano Summit
Ash continued to erupt intermittently from the vent within Halemaʻumaʻu crater, at Kīlauea’s summit, but no significant ash columns have been produced since noon on Sunday. Observations from the ground, by UAV, and by satellite during the past week have documented retreat of the summit vent walls due to collapse of the steep conduit and rim. Trade winds are causing ash fall to the southwest, but are diminishing in intensity as wind patterns shift late Sunday and early Monday. This may bring ashfall to communities around the summit area.
Earthquakes in the summit region continue as the summit area subsides and adjusts to the withdrawal of magma.
Additional explosive events that could produce minor amounts of ashfall downwind are possible at any time. Volcanic gas emissions at the summit remain high.

Kīlauea Volcano Lower East Rift Zone
Overnight, field crews confirmed that the fast-moving flow that broke out at about 7 PM HST Sunday night originated from Fissure 8. The fissure fed a channelized flow that moved north along the margin of the existing flow before turning east and crossing out of Leilani Estates near the intersection of Kahukai and Hookupu streets. As of 8 AM HST Monday morning it had started to cross Pohoiki Road, but the advance rate slowed from hundreds of meters (yards) per hour on Sunday night to a few meters (yards) per hour this morning.

Fissures 6/13 are inactive, and Fissure 9 is reactivated but erupting small amounts of lava that are pooling nearby. Fissure 7/21 are no longer active and lava flows from that fissure have largely stalled on PGV property.

Monday, May 28, 2018, 5:45 am – Kilauea’s lower east rift zone overflight: Fissures 8 and 24 are currently the only ones actively erupting as of early this morning, and it seems that the volume from other fissures is being released here, as this massive flow was on the move. Sadly, while we hovered above, about a dozen homes were being consumed

 

HVO field crews are on site tracking the fountains, lava flows, and spattering from multiple fissures as conditions allow and reporting information to Hawaii County Civil Defense. Crews are also checking on the status of ground cracks on Highway 130.

Volcanic gas emissions remain very high from the fissure eruptions. If a forecast shift in wind direction occurs today, widespread vog may be expected on the Island of Hawaii.

Magma continues to be supplied to the lower East Rift Zone. Earthquake locations have not moved farther downrift in the past few days and the number of located earthquakes remains low.

Kīlauea Volcano Summit

Ash continued to erupt intermittently from the vent within Halemaʻumaʻu crater, at Kīlauea’s summit. A brief emission event at about 4:35 AM HST this morning sent ash to about 10,000 feet above sea level but was not associated with a significant tilt offset. A similar event at about 6:30 AM sent ash to approximately 12,000 feet above sea level. Earthquakes are currently occurring at high rates in the summit area. Observations from the ground, by UAS, and by satellite during the past week have documented retreat of the summit vent walls due to collapse of the steep conduit and rim. Volcanic gas emissions at the summit remain high.

Kīlauea Volcano Lower East Rift Zone

The lava flow from Fissure 8 reached Pohoiki Rd. this morning and stalled as the Fissure’s activity abruptly diminished. A few fissures reactivated briefly during the day. As of the 1 pm overflight, Fissure 8, 18, 20, 22, 6/13, and 7/21 reactivated with Fissure 7/21 having the highest fountains. The reactivated fissures have not yet erupted enough lava to reach the coast so the two ocean entry sites were relatively inactive. Only a minor ooze of residual lava was entering the ocean from the Eastern channel.

Volcan Reventador, Special Report No. 1 – 2018
Emission and ash fall in the provinces of Pichincha and Napo

On Sunday, May 27, 2018, volcanic ash falls were reported in the areas of Papallacta, San Antonio de Pichincha, Tabacundo, Cayambe, Puellaro, Puembo. The ash comes from the El Reventador volcano, erupted since November 2002, with activity characterized by continuous emissions and explosions since 2012. The internal and external activity of the volcano remains high, as the days and weeks before. The VAAC Volcanic Ash Warning Center in Washington reports a cloud of ash reaching an elevation of 6.7 km (3 km above crater level) today at 06:01 local time. Because of the height of this emission, with the high speed (12 m / s) and the direction of the wind (West), the ashes reached the mentioned sectors.
In the event of an ash fall, it is recommended that appropriate precautions be taken. If you detect ash in your area, please report it to the IGEPN.
IG-EPN maintains its vigilance and will report any significant changes in volcanic activity.

Seismicity: From 26 05 2018 11h00 to 27 05 2018 11h00
Long Period Type (LP): 20
Explosions (EXP): 5
Tremor of emission (TE): 11
Tremor Harmonic (TA): 5
Rain / lahars: Precipitation in the area. .

Emission / Ash Column: At night, steam, gas and ash emissions were observed up to 300 meters to the west. In the morning, VAAC Washington and a plane reported a column of ash 3 km above sea level. Due to the prevailing wind direction, fine particles have arrived in the inter-Andean valley.
Other monitoring parameters: No change.

Observations: Incandescence was observed at the summit, in addition to the descent of the blocks on all sides at 800 meters below the summit. This morning, a slight fall of ashes was reported in Papallacta, San Antonio de Pichincha, Tabacundo, Cayambe, Puellaro and Puembo.
