Thank you for the slow zoom in so we non-locals know exactly where this is happening! Seriously, I appreciate it. Keep up the great work.

Amazing!! Chain of Craters is the best bike ride on the planet!

[@cagal1066]

Thanks for the satellite image map! Big help in locating the activity!

Thanks for the update

Another Show from the Big Island 🤩🌋🤙 Mahalo

Good night from French Polynesia, take care to you all.

Back in 2010 my wife and I got a chance to join a hike from Kalapana to where the lava was flowing in to the ocean. Thank you Robert(our guide’s name). We still remember that experience. Words cannot describe how awesome it was. Much ❤ to Hawaii from 🇦🇺

If this eruption is linked to the magma from the summit, it would mean that the floor at the summit could collapse again?

[@philatomic5380]

I was there a week ago and missed it! Still, I never get tired of visiting this park and looking down in the crater.

Years ago used to live in a studio at mile marker 19 on Volcano HWY in the rain zone. Loved it there until I could not longer afford Hawaii. Love the Islands born Honolulu 1944. Be safe brothers and sisters. Pele is not happy with some of the people of Hawaii.

Pele got stank farts brah.

Looks a lot like the fissure eruptions that have been happening regularly in Iceland recently. Except for the Lavafall, which is pure Hawaiian.

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

And the fact that this eruption like most other eruptions from Kilauea is at the top of a massive shield volcano.

Great report

I was thinking that was a good spot for an eruption, but then I remembered people are starting to rebuild in some of the place Pu'u O'o covered. still, it's unusual for eruptions to go for that long so hopefully this will be long enough to be a good tourist attraction without leaving the boundaries of the park.

[@TheRealOtakuJoe]

Now will there be enough supply to fill Napau crater?

[@Vernaderiggs-sh5li]

Is this something new for Hawaii?

[@ThatOpalGuy]

Love lava falls. What are the output estimates?

[@hualani6785]

it was stated in the video!

[@JuciaraLisboa-marta]

10.000 tons per day ? Okay 😅 thanks for keeping up with the weight of the lava. Plz don’t use plastic containers and out of curiosity what’s the brand of the scale being used ?

[@jeonggogue3914]

Napau?

[@Phil-1]

No restrooms? Goddamit.

[@AK2HI]

😂

[@AK2HI]

Release the pressure inside, let it pour out there and not pop off somewhere eles is ok with me

[@kennycarter5682]

This is likely gping to release all the magma from apl these intrusions that occured over the past year

[@SteveGrandjambe3]

I think I’m the second one cool please no more eruption

[@dugheckenkamp4047]

No restrooms??? Sounds like Hawaii. Don't provide bathrooms so people don't come and see this magnificent event. Everything to deter tourists

[@marilynsue4273]

Pele honuamea!

Why don’t you tell the truth that this eruption is happening at the upper Puna border with Volcano National Park about 500 ft inside the park .. And yes it’s imminent that if this eruption continues it will send lava flows with gravity into the ocean entering at or near Paradise Park subdivision … Because Puu oo will deflect it to the highway 11 side of Puu oo and not allow the lava flows to head down with gravity to Kalapana ... If the lava wasn’t pooling in the Napau crater lava flows could be halfway to the lower Puna district now … And who knows how far downslope these fissures will travel .. It’s possible we’re witnessing the new Puu oo being formed that could erupt for Decades .

[@PunaSquirrel]

Do you even know where Paradise Park is located??

The timing of this eruption is very very interesting.. I just purchased two brand new SUV'S for myself and my son and filled them up with gasoline at the same time this eruption started.. Just more proof of climate change, global warming.. I am getting rid of our SUV'S first thing in the morning because I feel so incredibly guilty for contributing to the destruction of the planet .. I can't stop thinking about the endless tears of the great Greta Thunberg as she grieves over our planet because of the stupid and irresponsible actions of people like me .. These volcanoes would not be erupting, these hurricanes and tornadoes would not be as frequent or intense if we would just get away from oil and gas and get with the green new deal great Americans like Representative Cortez, AOC, are trying to teach us all about ..

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

The sarcasm is strong in your comment. Just letting you know.

[@richardbeach2430]

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 No sarcasm at all.. We all bear huge amounts of responsibility for all of these climate events.. We must stop the path we are on before we have destroyed this fragile planet completely .. Please help me get the word out about global warming

[@ValerieHart-mu9gw]

Oh no, another delusional dem.

[@cagal1066]

Volcanic activity isn't influenced by climate change dude.

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

@@richardbeach2430 I'm glad to hear that wasn't sarcasm. And yes, I bring the subject up often to any that will listen.
