Kilauea Eruption 2018


This view of fissure 8 and the upper lava channel at night shows roiling lava fountains remaining within the cinder cone and a flowing incandescent channel. The black jigsaw-like features in the lower center are pieces of cooled lava crust flowing on the surface of the channel. Image taken July 3, 2018, by the UAS (Unoccupied Aircraft Systems) team.
