4 years Kilauea KWcam 4 30 minutes

[@tempus_fugit7366]

It is nearly returned to the pre-collapse level. Fantastic time-lapse.

[@jenniferplatt5332]

I'm from Australia and we just happened to be there last Tuesday such an amazing sight to be seen This Timelapse really shows how powerful nature is

[@julieb3996]

I really enjoyed this, we are lucky to have this kind of view of a volcano. I started watching the volcano when there was still a lake at the bottom.

[@alexwake850]

Wow wow wow wow wow wow not enough wows to describe this brilliant piece of footage. Just incredible how in a relatively short time particularly for the Earth how quickly the volcano refilled the crater since the eruption in 2018, superb that man. 🌋🏝️👍❤️

[@AZdpurtle]

Seriously awesome what you've shown here, thanks!! Love it on many levels, but seeing the wispy, feathered edges of the perimeter steam, dancing as the bowl filled was wonderful and educational!!

[@wiredforstereo]

I have watched this video several times since published. I just noticed the pebbles in the lower right corner. You can see erosion happening right in front of your eyes.

[@banjocinema1954]

amazing! been following closely since 2018. this was fantastic

[@lizz3684]

Thank you Andre, great Job❤ Thank you Charles for sharing.

[@ritaloy8338]

Great video, and thanks to @Doing Hawaii for giving us the link to your KZbin Channel. This video is great. Thanks from a new subscriber to this channel.

[@oldnick4707]

This time-lapse in really amazing! Wow!!

[@Karin-NZ]

Great timelapse Andre! 😊

[@KubotaManDan]

Amazing how full it is now, this really shows it filling up. Wondering if it continues to fill up past where the collapsed wall from the 2018 eruption and where it'll go from there?

[@88997799]

Down hill…. Duh.. 🤦🏼

[@JosephFerry-t9r]

This is not by any means possible in a billion trillion life times or even infinity. Volcanic eruptions happen with great force it's built up over time that's y they blow. To much pressure.

[@garywayne6083]

Wow - when i was there some 12 years ago you could walk right across it without descending far - there was even a worn foot trail panning it! Amazing to see how the bottom had fallen out at the start.

[@sixthsenseamelia4695]

🌱🌏💚 Awesome time-lapse! 👌

[@kimm6589]

It's crazy to click at an early timestamp, then jump to the end. The lava lake really filled over 3 years.

[@lennyhall87]

Wow! I can't thank you enough. I've been thinking about this for a couple months. Perfect

[@nicolas2419]

Thank you for this video! :)

most excellent thank you

[@eugenetrollip751]

This was great!

[@drixc1]

Awesome and so instructive thanks a lot !!!

[@amwright63]

Wow! Now that is absolutely AMAZING!

[@christopherschalge9186]

what happened between 33 - 34 seconds? looks like a large jump in time.

[@lavaflea]

it did skip 14 days there, I'm not sure why. In that period there was the first eruption that removed the waterlake. I'll look into that. Well spotted.

[@jandypimpson]

Wow I was wondering how THAT much lava filled the crater in hours! Glad to learn it was 2 weeks.

[@pietjepuk7009]

Thanks for this super beautifull timelapse-video ! Greetings Robert (netherlands)

[@THEpersonn4838]

Thanks for bringing us this timelapse! Also, I don't know if anybody else asked this yet or not, but when do you think the large crater will overflow lava? If it keeps rising that high every year, it will have to eventually overflow with lava, and let's hope we aren't around when that happens, it would be worse than the 2017-2018 eruption that destroyed the town.

[@lavaflea]

when it will overflow is anybody's guess realy, but years from now rather than months I think. Right now chances are it could erpt outside the caldera, somewhere along the Chain of Craters road are, but than again it just may do nothing.

[@daviddarrall9384]

Just Amazing! UK

[@DoingHawaii]

Nice!

[@lavaflea]

Thanks for sharing it Charles!

[@DoingHawaii]

@@lavaflea Wow, 129K+ views and counting. Awesome!

[@dreamcrocheter]

so intrusive thought... what if you threw a couple tons of TnT in the middle on that? Enough explosive to return it to its original crater state. Would we have just raw flowing lava everywhere? Or would we be back to square one with just one or two smoky areas again?

[@lavaflea]

Interesting thought. My guess is that we have a crust of some 30 odd meters of solid stuff and then it becomes sticky like dough. But nobody really knows that. Question is : is there enough pressure to press the magma up. So far it doesn't look that way.

[@SparkyOne549]

Thanks! Great Timelapse.

[@davidjoseph7142]

That was awesome, i miss those eruptions that go on for months even if a small amount is coming out, i waas funny how this timelapse really showed that, as soon as we got to see the begining of this most reasent eruption it said. “Thank you for watching.” Lol

[@lavaflea]

yep, over a 4 year period it's only a couple of frames 🙂

[@correyclockworth]

Nature is beautiful and scary at the same time. Thanks for this awesome vid!

[@lloydbellis7360]

Now that was really cool 😎 👍👍👍 Nice Andre

[@stuartlast8156]

Fantastic !! Thanks 👏👏

[@NotEvents]

I can feel my eyes stinging from the volcanic smoke !

[@hebneh]

The beginning of this video shows the brief period when, for the first time in recorded history, a pool of water formed in Halemaumau Crater. That obviously ended abruptly when hot lava returned.

[@QueenSunstar]

Very beautiful!

[@laidbackmedia]

First 3 weeks in June this year is normal?

[@lavaflea]

Yes it is. After a long pause it started erupting again on June 7th, USGS has a nice video of that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooKvlI2wZ96ZjaM but over the 4 year period it takes only a fraction of time in this video

[@tiggy_eh]

This is awesome Andre. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@kevinwilson2082]

Andre, you complete me. Wow.

[@undersixty]

Question: At the rate that this volcano filled up in the last 4 years is the volcano expected to completely overflow within the next 5 to 10 years???

[@lavaflea]

Personally I doubt that. First it needs to spill over to the "Down dropped block" area and than the area to fill expands hugely. Given that this little eruption only added 10 meters to the current lavalake filling back to the pre-2008 level will take ages. But as the scientist says: We don't know, we will have to wait and see 🙂

[@jonathanwarnes2230]

That's a huge lava lake. Is it still liquid under the crust i wonder

[@lavaflea]

I would imagine more like clay or dough

[@someguydino6770]

whoa; lava with magical flashing rainbows !

[@davidmintun]

Start date and end date? If you please.

[@lavaflea]

It was in the opening screen: October 31st 2019 to September 17th 2023, so almost 4 years

[@MottyGlix]

There is a time stamp, including the date, in the upper corner of the picture. (Sometimes the upper right, sometimes the upper left.) Admittedly, it is hard to see the white time stamp when the image is filled with white vapor.

[@davidmintun]

@@lavaflea Thank you

[@davidmintun]

@@MottyGlix Thank you

[@SmokeGray]

Fascinating

[@88997799]

Just little cut… earth bleeds a little and fills in the wound with fresh skin.

[@jarvisa12345]

A rolling date stamp would have been a nice addition.

[@tonywharton5220]

Amazing 👍

[@phillip_mcguinness7025]

"You know what would speed this process along? Dynamite."

[@TomLuTon]

So the very top of the 'floating rock' from 2021 is still there! I thought it had long been buried.

[@lavaflea]

it was always at an elevated level (I suppose it may well still float) The latest eruption concentrated on the oposite side and never had a chance to really fil up much (only 10 meters)

[@operationmindcrime4469]

Pele being a good landlord - "While I'm here, just let me spackle that hole for ya. I'll be done in a jiff."

[@Darkhunter190able]

"What do you mean you're allergic to fire?"

[@gopal_kolathu1960]

Just imagine if Pele decides to pull the plug on this pond, and all of this flows out the East rift zone… probably add several square miles to the Big Island…

[@lavaflea]

USGS has a very good timelapse of how the caldera collapsed in 2018 called "Changes Over Time at Kīlauea (April - August 2018)" www.usgs.gov/media/videos/changes-over-time-kilauea-april-august-2018

[@complimentary_voucher]

That was great, thanks for the tip.

[@TwinShards]

Would be interesting to see a 60frames/day. So 1 day would last 1 second. (Unless the camera was not recording 24/7

[@lavaflea]

interesting idea 👍 Unfortunately not so simple to accomplish. It would still be a 20+ minute video

[@MeteoricStoneofSouls]

If there's one thing I learned from this video is that it's cloudy in Hawaii lol.

[@lagodifuoco313]

The music audio did not fit with the erratic video.

[@lavaflea]

Yeah, I did have my doubts about that. I suggest you use the muet option and play something that fits you

[@Kreemerz]

That last bit of sudden swelling at 4:30 was interesting...

[@bohemiolove]

Looks like we goes to having a vulcano issue coming

[@BowTie8Bit]

Hmm, so that's why we don't really build villain lairs in volcano craters.

[@earkittycat]

I watched this game! It was an emotional experience!

[@MyArizonaDiamond]

Like a cork ready to pop!

[@Elsalover]

I SWEAR IF I EVER SEE ANYBODY COMMENTING PROPS TO THE CAMERAMAN I WILL LOSE MY S**T!!!! How’d you have it charging??

[@lavaflea]

I'm not sure what you mean, but the cam is remotely operated and running on solar panels. So a dust off is usually all that is needed I guess.

[@hybridwolf66]

I did not realize how much lava was ejected. Lucky it was just a leak and not an explosion.

[@russtaylor2122]

Cool. I hope the cameras survive the next eruption...!

[@SurvivalSquirrel]

It should have been slowed down, when there was much happening!

[@Elsalover]

It’s a shame that it’s only one hour everyday

[@yvonnelamb2378]

That was absolutely fascinating. 🤌

[@nodniv1317]

Pick a spot in the crater and watch! Cool!

[@lindabriggs5118]

Interesting time lapse. Seeing this makes me realize just how much the caldera has filled. It will be even more interesting to see if Pele makes her lava flow to the edge and over the caldera's rim😮.

[@stonew1927]

This is the crater inside the caldera, which is a much wider and larger area. The lava would have to fill all of that area for it to spill out. More likely a fissure could open up along the edge that could flow away from the caldera before the caldera actually filled up all the way.

[@Shivaho]

Cool Video... It would have been cooler if it started Pre-2018 Summit Collapse.. Seeing it collapse was Epic.

[@lavaflea]

would have loved that too, but unfortunately I don't have these images

[@ThomasistheTwin]

Realize this is the tallest mountain in the world in vertical feet above the base. Right in the middle of the Pacific Rim. The earth is transforming celestial energy and this is the antenna of the satellite dish, melting down in a nuclear level. A place on the earth that’s acting like the sun.

[@BlueCyann]

Technically that's Mauna Kea I believe. Same island, definitely not the same volcano, whether or not you consider it the same mountain is debatable but I'd say no. Kilauea isn't old enough to have built itself either up or down that far; plus it's literally on top of Mauna Loa's flank which limits its depth.

[@rifatahmet3998]

Müthiş bir doğa olayı

[@RicoLen1]

It's taken 4 years to refill what the Lelani Estates eruption emptied in a matter of weeks.

[@apologiamixer]

Very revealing.

[@tomsurfing007]

WHERE IS THE GOOD PART?

[@lavaflea]

well, that depends on what you define as "the good part" 🙂

[@waveguider]

so cool

[@jacksrandomadventures2769]

thats cool the camera guy just stays there

[@lavaflea]

Well, the camera is fixed on a tripod and works automatically and remotely 🙂

If this beast collapses, I hope I ain't around to hear about it, bc I might not survive

[@pa5287]

Give or take another 15 years if not before this one is going to blow big time

[@StuffandThings_]

The video? Way sooner than that! The volcano? Na, Kilauea rarely has explosive eruptions, even when they occur they tend to be fairly small and are usually related to phreatomagmatic activity. It had a chance for an explosive eruption when there was a water lake there (that was the big concern) but now that that's gone and the lowest elevations within the caldera are well above the water table any explosive activity is highly unlikely.

[@kimm6589]

Kilauea is not that type of volcano. Shield volcanoes almost never explode due to their basaltic lava.

[@pa5287]

the eruptions are shortlived (a couple of days at most) so over a period of 4 years the pass very quikcly.
