Kilauea eruption in Leilani Estates fissure #8 from Luana 6 AM June 8, 2018

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

I forgot about this one too.

[@patrmiller7]

ApauHawaiiTours How could you forget This one!

[@CheapTart]

The billowing into the sky is incredible to see. Appreciate that footage. 🍍

[@jeffwallace5447]

ApauHawaiiTours ah wondered what was going on lol Shit friggin great stuff man!

[@maryclendenen5406]

What is the lava doing now? Is it just flowing into the ocean or is it still threatening homes? Great videos Scott!

[@waareagle3691]

Glad you remembered. One of your best!!! Simply Awesome!

[@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams.]

Wow. You're one of the handful of people, in all the world, that get to experience this so up close and personal. What a privilege. Not forgetting about all the destruction of your beautiful neighborhood and Puna district. Yes the destruction is awful. But to be in Scotts shoes is simply amazing. I am so thankful he had decided to share this with the world. We wouldn't have seen a tenth of this without you Scott. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is an incredible journey. As soon as I have my coffee, I go straight to the TV to watch your next video. P.s. glad to hear some excitement back in your voice the last few days.

[@lisal4824]

We've been watching your videos of #8 for days and days and it's still totally mesmerizing. Thanks.

[@bobyates6513]

Keep them coming . Many of the others broadcasting this are showing the same videos over and over with different narration yours are always new and because of that I look forward to seeing them

[@bobyates6513]

PS I am in South Carolina

[@kathrynkenyon785]

Yep, saw the splash and heard it. Went back for a replay about 10 times. Glad to hear you love the billowing clouds, Clouds have been my main body of work since I was a kid. I have thousands of pics and some videos of clouds. THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO WITH ALL THE SOUND EFFECTS...VERY COOL! STAY SAFE SCOTT!

[@springmint3810]

Keep 'em coming. Once in a lifetime opportunity. I don't care if you zoom or not. I love this stuff, no stupid music, no stupid graphics, no begging for likes or subscribes. After watching your videos I now understand why someone would want to live near an active volcano, and that's because it is a beautiful place and if that is the only location a person can afford then so be it. Just adjust your lifestyle away from material things that could go up in smoke and enjoy the beauty.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Well said

[@ktilqrpk3481]

For those saying “will this become a volcano?” The answer is no, it won’t. A volcano has a vertical shaft going down into the mantle. The lava leaves the Earth, travels up the shaft and comes out of the top. Fissure 8 has a horizontal flow of lava to it all the way from Kīlauea - which is where the vertical shaft is. It is possible for the shaft from Kīlauea to become blocked. The lava will still go up the horizontal shaft at Kīlauea, but could then find another weak spot in the volcano walls to leak through (just as it flowed out of the weak spot and down the Eastern Rift before breaking through to the surface at Leilani) OR continue until it fills the vertical shaft and comes out the top of the volcano in a “picture book” eruption. Until this I never realised that volcanos don’t always erupt from the volcano itself. I knew that sometimes the lava would come through a side vent but never appreciated that the side event could be below the ground and then run for miles underground which is what is happening here.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

MAHALO!!!

[@flipjack]

Dude... your videos are blowing my mind. Thanks

[@BradCat7]

Amazing stuff today Scott and I love the billowing too! Mahalo.

[@funforjenny4446]

I'm so happy I found your channel. Can't get enough. More! More! 😊

[@guitardds]

The chair makes it look surreal. Like a Dali

[@heather173]

First I thought it was a person in a wrestler stance, then I thought--why aren't they moving??? Till Scott moved towards it, when I finally registered it was a chair. Wearing a cape.

[@vinesauceobscurities]

Just about as weird as the chair found deep in the bottom of the ocean. They are just begging to be sat on.

[@chrisshotwell4442]

Incredible! Love the low-key, matter-of-fact attitude about it all. Uhhh...loha!

[@chchardoji]

USGS should hire you for up close in depth coverage as it's awesome. good work and great to follow

[@DrivEDrivinginEurope]

I love this kind of video, I coul'd watch it for hours

[@jovitahilliker4599]

I actually find the videos very relaxing. Realizing you don’t want to focus on the destruction. I just love the color of the lava, the sound of it and the facts that you add to it. Thanks again

[@wharrington8587]

Love the clouds. Gotta say that's a little closer then usual. Wow amazing. Please stay safe.

[@jacd751]

The lava splat! 🌋 Heard it clearly had to go back to see it😉

[@jandycross]

Wow amazing, love the cloud views.Thank you, stay safe.

[@LoveJeter]

The sound of the lava coming out of #8 reminds me of the sound of Niagara Falls when on the Maid of the Mist. I'd love to know how much lava is coming out of the fissure every day. Mahalo again Scott for your videos.

[@astridyodu110]

Mel , the sound of lava reminds me hurricane Irma landing in Miami..

[@LoveJeter]

That would be a creepy/scary sound.

[@CarlaExotic]

Wow you could just stand there all day watching it, just bloody amazing mate

[@patriciayoung3267]

This was one of your most exciting videos yet. I really loved your enthusiasm.

[@siouxiet4525]

Love your enthusiasm, love your videos, thank you Scott

[@marypepin2835]

This is amazing footage, thank you Scott

[@chartphred1]

Awesome video Scott. Glad to see someone has the balls to get up close with this. Looks safe enough to me from that distance, despite what some have said. It's a fairly predictable flow with few scary bits, so as long as you've got a quick escape route then it seems to me you could get into this position a lot. I think this is one of your best close up bits of footage yet. Please keep em comin! Its very difficult to find reliable 'on-the-spot' footage that is not over-embellished with hysterical commentary. Hope you can continue to escape the authorities notice! :o)

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Mahalo, David. I wish everyone would feel the same way you do. Really, the only danger I'm in is getting a little boo boo if I walk on a piece a lava that cracks. When that happens, my foot may go into a little hole and get scratched. Happened yesterday...no biggy.

[@Dave_Cooks2]

great job on covering this today. The billowing steam was incredible

[@subiedoo7011]

Wow that is like a new layer of soil being formed from the Tephra fallout! IT SHOWED AND I HEARD IT @2:22! Impeccable timing Mr.Scott to capture that! Great Job! And the billowing looks like a thunderstorm growing! Thank you for bringing us this jaw dropping footage!

[@dougw8091]

Its just amazing to me to see this lave fountain and to hear the power that this thing has. You really bring a different perspective to each of us that see this. I love billowing clouds. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and during thunderstorm season we get to see amazing thunder clouds build and form. Its really cool. I could sit and watch & listen to this spout all day. Thanks again.

[@smeegle213]

You are amazing. Your video's have been a better antidepressant than anything else! I'd love to be there, and do all I can to help you, and the others of Leilani, and the rest of Hawaii Island!

[@LoveWinterMaineWoods]

Just fantastic filming. Thank you.

[@gayleowens5057]

Thank you for your daily broadcasts as the news says nothing here (Australia) and I find your information fascinating and enjoyable.

[@FrancisChartrand7769]

This is so Epic Scott!

[@matthewbooth9265]

Thats a great location. I would love someone to set up a live cam from there, or at least film several hours of action each day and upload it. Where else in the world can you get such amazing footage? Nowhere. I'd have dragged that lawnchair closer and sat down for a while and just watched mesmerised. Great stuff Scott. Take care out there.

[@shelleyreynolds5810]

This is the best video of the fountain ive seen, with the sound. Its just like being there!!!

[@joyleenpoortier7496]

That looks amazing with black cloud behind it

[@b.r.i.d.g.e.t]

Saw the splash and heard it too! Another interesting video. Thanks!

[@lakestl5000]

Ok there has to be a story with that chair lol. Every time you go there it's in a different position

[@markattardo]

Stunned by this view and especially the splat! I've re watched it a lot already! MAHALO

[@FalconXE302]

That is amazing... the stories you can tell your grand kids and have the video's to prove you were there. Thanks for sharing with us. Greetings from Australia.

[@pl3439]

Ha! I totally thought that chair was someone else! 😆 another wicked video! 🌺

[@louderone6042]

Good work as usual. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I watch them every night right after the 11pm news. You’ve got me hooked. Like your work and volcanoes. 👍🏼👍🏼🤙🤙

[@mikec1096]

skip the news next time

[@joevindigni2926]

Keep the video s coming because the news is not showing how bad it is. Stay safe out there🤙

[@tappedout300xc]

That is just wild looking. I know the video like most video does not even do it justice. I could imagine the sounds and smells and vibration has got to be intense to experience. Stay safe brother.

[@davetone2106]

Fascinating, thank you for posting!

[@shimmyhinnah]

This is excellent cinematography!

[@erintreez]

It's amazing the color and shape changes in the fountain; mindbending to think about how much lava the fountain has/is putting out; I think, "Where does it all come from??!"...like trying to imagine the ocean. 😊 So captivating....🌸Mahalo

[@davidzins2495]

Revisiting your videos. Mother Nature at her most fascinating. You did one heck of a good job in reporting this feat of wonder. Thank you.

[@tracie8619]

This is always fascinating and beautiful to watch... the colors and the cascading of the lava.. thanks Scott

[@lifewithduchenne3030]

Hello Scott, I am catching up on your videos of Hawaii and I wondered if you had seen the tornado or the video of it? Love the new gadgets your using they now gives us more of an idea what it is like there. And it is a visual record of the History of Hawaii. Aloha💕

[@donnafoster6523]

Been noticing the splashes for a while & wondering what they sound like. Thanks.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Me too! I think this is the first time I've heard it.

[@vanessaglaze2996]

Love your excitement and awe! It's contagious!

[@SashaDeKasha]

This is so incredible! I feel beyond blessed and fortunate for having been there - so special!

[@SweetPea69867]

Hiya Scott thanks for taking us on a up date tour around the change in the place is devastating yet amazing recreation at the same time Wow incredibly videos thanks for sharing your life with us from Sadie~marie and the furrys P.s have a fab Saturday Scott

[@canadianpureblood9277]

I’ve tried to see most of your videos. I think you are getting a little to close each time. You are getting to comfortable with the situation 😀 I must say I’d probably do the same. I could watch it all day. Thanks for what you are doing.

[@ForrestMillerMusic]

Best one yet:)

[@TinkinLA]

Find your walks interesting and informative.

[@parajacks4]

Superb! Thank you for sharing. I really think you should be making some money from this with adverts.

[@bellbookcandle3051]

parajacks4 Hopefully, by the end of the month. KZbin is evidently backed up til then for monetizing new channels. 😒

[@claudiakirschner8257]

Hey Scott ☺️ you were reading my thoughts and telling the distance 😂 Mahalo and ALOHA from Bavaria

[@titaniumhud1536]

@ 2:20 Splash + Noise confirmed, your footage keeps getting better. Keep the updates (not the fissures) flowing :D

[@lunaamore2713]

Look at the power it's amazing

[@debbieward9732]

The illusion it gives that it’s slowing down yet it’s just that cone around it has grown so much that it’s almost as tall as the fountain itself.

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

My gosh how did people walk in the vicinity of lava flows and eruptions before modern shoe technology?

[@4TIMESAYEAR]

Saw it and heard it - very impressive!

[@dawn-mariepearson6868]

Good Morning! Oh my Lord, it really does look like the making of a new volcano. Yeah, I heard that splat. HaHa. :)) I like that you are curious. :))

[@DeborahLong7777]

So many adjectives to use !!! I'm awestruck!!!

[@heyumefirst6497]

Phenomenal footage!!!

[@bbergmann7202]

Thanks for the Impression, unbeliveble Pictures , thank you very much

[@kimberlydkulcsar2671]

Wow. That's intense! What number is the one in front across the way?

[@AllQuiltedTogetherLLC]

Thanks again Scott for another incredible video. It appears that the steam from #8 has grossly increased!?? Is this something that happens with aging of a fissure or have the winds dispersed the steam all this time??? Stay safe 🌺

[@euggiemonad2523]

Great vantage point for Big Daddy...probably your best one yet. Now here's a spot where you could just set the camera up and take a nice, long look at the fissure spewing its magnificence -- with minimal narration, no camera wobble, no phone ringing, and no need to mess up the shot with the heater meter (because we already know the lava is 2000 degrees, right?)

[@didierdebaere9502]

How are things over at the big island? It is amazing that from a crack in the street or backyard of a property, a lava fontain pops up creating a new cone or crater in this short timelapse (a month or not even that long!). Courage from Belgian living in Spain to all Hawaiians! May God bless you and give you all the strength to start all over again from scratch and that you might get all the help needed from whoever it might come.

[@raitisfreimanis]

Is that your chair there in front of #8?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

No, but I sure would like to know who it belongs to.

[@dsatt57]

The white plastic chair in front of the dark lava, something poetic in that. 😊

[@lisamartin774Life]

that's a new volcano...what do you think

[@thebordenasylum7726]

Might end up similar to what Green Lake was. It will be a landmark by the time it's finished

[@jtalbot34]

Not a new volcano it is a vent of Kīlauea.

[@Ergzay]

No its not a new volcano.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Ktilqr Pk For those saying “will this become a volcano?” The answer is no, it won’t. A volcano has a vertical shaft going down into the mantle.

[@lisamartin774Life]

ApauHawaiiTours thank you so much... i love ur vids.... watch them always.... i trust ur work... hugs be safe...

[@coraclements4562]

Love the video as usual, Looks like figure 8's little buddy plume is gone.

[@loritapscott3805]

Thank you Scott

[@marionwilson8141]

Great video, keep them coming

[@keithgeisen]

Mother Nature in the rawest form - thanks for being so brave - be careful and look forward to more...........

[@shellystephan4560]

You found a way back to the action. Yay!!

[@sonjaalexander9773]

I have watched this one over and over! Seeing and hearing the laws go over the side was awesome. I wish I could do a slow motion.

[@leveraction6917]

Scott can you explain how the State land exchange works? Does Bill, for instance still own his chunk of the lava flow ?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

All homeowners still own the land that is being covered by lava. They can do whatever they want with it. When this thing ends, I assume some will actually build on top of the lava like in Kalapana.

[@leveraction6917]

Thank you. One broadcast spoke of some kind of Land exchange- just wondered.

[@lelandfultz5233]

Easy meter conversion: one meter equals 1.1 yards. 35 meters is 38.5 yards or 115 feet.

[@MLeibs]

Fantastic!

[@sonjaalexander9773]

By the way, thank you for including the date in the title.

[@Classsslady]

Any idea of how high that gadget registers?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

2100 f

[@Classsslady]

ApauHawaiiTours Thank you, interesting. Love your coverage. Aloha

[@johnmorgan4921]

Amazing, beautiful, thanks Scott, stay safe! :)

[@encouraginglight4779]

To think that there were homes under all that.

[@judibarton9220]

How wide would you estimate the cinder cone or spatter cone is?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

have no idea...volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/status.html

[@maeedwards8387]

Is Big Daddy making its own dome or mountain or whatever you call it? Looks like it's making its own volcano!

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

It's considered a fissure on the east rift zone of Kilauea

[@vickyharrison4183]

Still watching in the uk

[@randydicotti3975]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video footage. Would otherwise never see this. THANK YOU! PS...you are one brave soul

[@torstenhokamp3767]

Exclusiv openair cinema with one chair only! Great idea! Where can I get a ticket? :-)) be safe. greetings from Germany.

[@elizabethortiz7740]

Torsten Hokamp Laugh out loud

[@raygun1966]

Just awesome

[@EKB-xr9hf]

What is the estimated height of the new cone from fissure 8?

[@jpsholland]

Number 8 is not a fissure anymore. Number 8 made his own volcano. Actually, through your videos we witness the birth of a new volcano. And thats not seen very often. It might even put you in the Hawaiian history books.

[@sharon1775]

amazing viewing ty

[@dindog22]

what's the deal with that chair?

[@NariNaraga22]

dindog22 drink coffee watch the vent in the morning, wouldn't you? Lol Just my guess

[@DizzyTurtle77]

To tell if the lava has moved.

[@Gypsytt]

All I can say is wow

[@Kellie---7]

Oh... it's Alison's painting, love it. That chair, lol. I don't recall hearing a lava splat like that in any other footage I've seen anywhere, amazing, wow.

[@junipersnow1]

#8 can be a new active Volcano spot? All day every day that cone can get huge. Great observations. Many Mahalo's

[@MrMurphyParodies]

Has Kīlauea stopped erupting now? it’s been erupting for ages man.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Yes

[@MeargleSchmeargle]

For now, but I doubt it'll stay quiet for too long. From what I've been reading on Volcano Discovery, Mauna Loa may be ready to start its own eruption at some point in the not too distant future. I hope I'd be able to watch it when it does (though realistically speaking, that's a long shot).

[@tyrozone5]

Kilauea has been erupting since 1984
