Kilauea Eruption, 2018
The fissure 8 lava channel remains inactive and continues to cool in the rain on August 17, 2018. The channel levee (far left) now stands about 8 m (26 ft) above the surface of formerly active lava (right). Although lava is not erupting from fissure 8, the flow field includes large areas of still-hot, rugged, and unstable lava surfaces.
