(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 45-50 m (150-165 ft) below the vent rim for much of the past week, but dropped to about 39 m (128 ft) on July 7-8.
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 no earthquakes reported felt on the Island of Hawai‘i during the past week.

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. July 2-9, 2015. Images courtesy of USGS/HVO
