Edit: Feb 2023 Mauna Loa’s close neighbor joins in 3 months later Lava erupted from a crater on Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano on Sunday, Feb.12, 2023, as volcanic activity picked up, according to the United States Geological Survey. (Hawaii Volcanoes National Park) The U.S. Geological Survey said the current eruption occurred in a closed area of the park and poses no threat. High levels of volcanic gas are the primary hazard of concern, as this hazard can have far-reaching effects downwind of the volcano.

Iceresistance Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 It appears that this lava flow is in the general direction of Hilo, but it could take weeks or months to get there if it does.

Andie Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 The report today voiced concern for the lava flow taking over the main highway. If it does it could take weeks to clear once cool. Tourists are still venturing up to the summit as the flow is in only a few streams, however, there is still the caution regarding the gases. This must be Mama Pele's gift for the new year. New land. Mahalo nui.

Andie Posted December 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Mauna Loa’s lava flow is growing closer to one of Hawaii’s main roads. If it crosses it getting around the island will be hampered until they can open it.

Andie Posted December 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Mauna Loa is no longer erupting. As of 7:00 a.m. today, December 15, webcams only captured residual incandescence and no lava movement in the F3 vent. The channels below the vent appear drained of lava and no longer feed the main flow front. The inactive main flow front remains stalled about 1.7 mi (2.8 km) from the Daniel K. Inouye Highway (Saddle Road) when last measured on the morning of December 10. The inactive main flow front still glows at a few spots at night and may inch northward very slowly as it continues to settle. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rates are at background levels; on December 10, the emission rate was approximately 2,000 tonnes per day (t/d).
