Kilauea Volcano Eruption: Warning Issued For Pele's Hair (January 17, 2025)

[@davidzachmeyer1957]

"What did you do at work today?" "Landed a helicopter inside an active volcano and shoveled some molten lava."

wasting taxpayers money.

@@dng6121 They cool the lava to lock in the gases within. When analyzed, this gives information on how deep the lava was, it's composition and how it might behave later on. It's not wasted taxpayer money.

Pele's Hair can cause skin irritation Holds in bare hand 👌

[@GordonDavis-j8q]

Probably not the hands so much as the more ''sensitive'' areas😂

[@TrapShooter68]

Don't worry. That was the hand belonging to the AI narrating the announcement

[@alison5009]

That civil defense warning was the most relaxing I’ve ever heard! 😂

[@knobbynut6353]

Lived in Hawaii for close to 18 years, never heard of Pele's Hair. So Cool ! Nature is Amazing !

[@miket2120]

The crater is so different from when I first saw it in 1969. We went the first day of the eruption in the crater and the lava lake covered the entire floor, with multiple fountains shooting up through the lake. I was all of 11. Since then I've been privileged to see live lava 3 more times, the second time getting with inches of a small rivulet where it crossed the Chain of Craters Road.

[@timothyjohns3561]

I want that civil defence announcer to narrate.., my entire life. “Good morning.. today you have three meetings and then drinks after work.. now let me tell you about the weather… “. “Goodnight, and let me read you a chapter from our current book”

[@BlackCeII]

I can't believe they trusted that that crust is dry and thick enough to hold the weight of the damn helicopter landing on the floor look how fresh that lava looks.

[@lhs761]

They know.

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

The helicopter landed on an area that has not yet been touched by the eruptions over the past week.

[@BlackCeII]

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 I know it hasn't been touched there recently but I used to run a triathalon around Kilauea crater, and just the weight of us running across decades-old lava, if you didn't choose your path carefully, your foot could poke through a bubble of long cooled and Faded in the sun lava. Disappears to be fresher black lava that they're walking on. Just disconcerting to see. I'm sure they know what they're doing

[@louisegogel7973]

[@dadgarage7966]

It's ironic how much fuel (wood, coal, oil, gas) we burn from the surface for heat when there's endless heat from within.

[@Dooguk]

There are no volcanoes here in the UK, and I don't think my local council would be too happy with me erecting a massive drilling rig in my backyard.

[@BjarneLinetsky]

Iceland is #1 when it come to exploiting geothermal energy. There are a few small geo rigs here in the USA. The Salton sea area has real thin crust and a rig was set up there, using hot brine from a well. The rig shut down because the pipes became coated with copper and other metals dissolved in the brine.

[@Dooguk]

Iceland is right on top of the boundary between the Eurasian and North American techtonic plates. I will stick to paying a bit more for my power needs thank you very much.

[@SteveHardy-v9p]

​@@louisegogel7973whatever it is, it's flying across the entire caldera. Small and fast in a straight line.

[@SteveHardy-v9p]

It's outside, flying fast in a horizontal straight line, left to right across the entire caldera. Look just below the center of your screen. It may take a couple of times to see it, but something is there. Guessing a drone of some kind?

[@manonamission2000]

[@MARIEC-im8hi]

I have filmed the White tailed Tropicbirds fly through the crater. They nest in the crater walls. www.nps.gov/havo/learn/nature/koaekea.htm😄

[@lcogan65]

What kind of shovel do you use to shovel lava? Or does it all depend on how fast you move😂

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

They use a steel shovel and dump it water right away to cool it.

[@Glaudge]

As long as the blade is metal a wooden handle doesn't melt. Might get charred though

[@AtortAerials]

SO fricking badass! 🙏🏾

[@mozdickson]

Love the approach, well crafted message and voice tone. Aloha. (Here in New Zealand, our Covid warning messages were shrill, designed to frighten, and bullying. Thanks to Ms Ardern & her gang)

Crazy landing helicopters on the crater floor haha. It was a molten pool of lava not too long ago it seems. I’d be afraid that it’s like standing on a frozen lake without knowing how thick the ice is

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

Most of that black lava is from an older eruption so it has cooled and is many feet thick.

[@DaleBladez]

@ I’m aware just the thought is all. I did wonder how long it would take for that insanely deep pit of lava to cool and harden lol.

[@BigDaddy-zh2rc]

So it's basically fiberglass??

[@sallu6314]

Luxurious life will not be eternal 😢😮

[@BjarneLinetsky]

I wonder if the old Hawai'ians ever hiked into this caldera?

[@GhostPhantoms-m2i]

Nope they respected Pele and did not disturb her. Just like how they only went up to maunkea for specific things and quickly made it bck down they did not linger on the mountain. They wanted the place pristine as possible bcz its where the Goddess dwelled. That’s wat I think I don’t know for sure but that’s my guess.

[@BjarneLinetsky]

@@GhostPhantoms-m2i the pacific islanders had an ethic called taboo. Some places were forbidden to men, sort of a religious prohibition.....I am wondering if the Hawai'ians would venture here with offerings to Pele. Going into this caldera would definitely put you into a respectful frame of mind.

Still looks like it’s not going to overflow

[@matthewgillies7509]

Never does.

[@heatherr4321]

Overflowing is not the problem with this location.

[@sigisoltau6073]

Lava level is still about 200 meters or 600 feet below the caldera rim. If one eruption adds about 5 meters or 15 feet it would take about 40 eruptions to overflow the caldera rim. However, taking into account that some eruptions will be along the rift zones, it would take years, perhaps decades to completely fill the summit caldera.

[@lesliepropheter5040]

When the caldera completely drained at the beginning of this eruptive series, before the land mass dropped so drastically perhaps the old, shallower caldera would have overflowed by now (?) Looks like the two vents are still in the same place
