(Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.)
KÄ«lauea’s summit lava lake level, which fluctuates in response to summit inflation and deflation, remained fairly steady at 45 m (148 ft) below the vent rim for much of the past week, but dropped to 47 m (155 ft) on July 1, where it remained as of July 2.
KÄ«lauea’s East Rift Zone lava flow continues to feed widespread breakouts northeast of PuÊ»u ʻŌʻÅ. Active flows are slowly covering and widening the flow field, but remain within about 8 km (5 mi) of PuÊ»u ʻŌʻÅ.
There were two earthquakes reported felt on the Island of Hawai‘i during the past week. On Saturday June 27, 2015, at 10:10 p.m., HST, a magnitude-5.2 earthquake occurred 11 km (7 mi) southeast of Kīlauea Summit at a depth of 8.5 km (5.3 mi), and at 10:54 p.m., a magnitude-3.2 earthquake occurred 13 km (8.5 mi) southeast of Kīlauea Summit at a depth of 8.8 km (5.5 mi).

Time-lapse movie from images gathered from a temporary thermal camera looking into Pu’u ‘O’o Crater. The temperature scale is in degrees Celsius up to a maximum of 500 Celsius (932 Fahrenheit) for this camera model, and scales based on the maximum and minimum temperatures within the frame. Thick fume, image pixel size and other factors often result in image temperatures being lower than actual surface temperatures. June 25-July 2, 2015. Images courtesy of USGS/HVO
