Aerial video shows huge lava flows streaming from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano days after it erupted

Published by Business Insider on Mon, 21 May 2018


The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupted last Thursday after more than a week of intense activity.Lava has continued to burst out of several fissures, and reached as far as the Pacific Ocean.A new toxic ash plume was created after the lava entered the ocean, which can kill people if they breathe it in.Lava is still gushing out of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano four days after its latest eruption, and has reached as far as the Pacific Ocean.The lava hitting the ocean water has also started to produce a volcanic haze made ofgaseous hydrochloric acid, steam, and tiny volcano glass particles, which authorities have warned is a major health risk.Kilauea has been very active over the past few weeks, with the latest eruption taking place last Thursday. It opened up several new fissures, which have been contributing to the scorching new lava flows on the island.Molten rock has been pouring out of more than 20 fissures from the volcano, Sky News reported on Monday.Here's how the area looks now: Speechless' A post shared by ''''Chance Blake K Agpoon (@ichanceagpoon) on May 20, 2018 at 11:00am PDTon May 20, 2018 at 11:00am PDT#LeilaniEstatesEruption #KilaueaVolcano LATEST (May 20 at 4:45 PM): New aerial footage captures the extent of activity along the lower East Rift Zone where the two lava flows have crossed Highway 137 and are pouring magma into the ocean at Poho'iki near M'lama Flats, northeast of MacKenzie State Park and southwest of Isaac Hale Beach Park. USGS HVO scientists say sulfur dioxide emissions have tripled in the area where two lava flows have made contact with ocean water. According to the Hawai'i County Civil Defense alert that was just released: 'Be aware of the laze hazard and stay away from any ocean plume. Laze is formed when hot lava hits the ocean sending hydrochloric acid and steam with fine glass particles into the air. The U.S. Coast Guard is actively monitoring the area. Only permitted tour boats are allowed in the area. Be aware that the laze plume travels with the wind and can change direction without warning. Health risks are present both landside and on the water. Due to hazardous conditions from lava and fires, the following policies are in effect: Highway 137 is closed between Kama'ili Road and Poho'iki Road. Kama'ili Road is closed to all through traffic. The Department of Water Supply says an emergency water restriction is still in effect for customers between Kapoho and Poho'iki. The flow that has crossed Poho'iki Road cut off water supply to residents. Two water tankers are providing public drinking water access to residents and visitors in Vacationland and Kapoho Beach Lots. HELCO advises residents in the down rift of the flow to be aware of downed power lines. Always assume the power lines are active and exercise extreme caution.'
