I am quite glad that Kilauea is erupting once again as there is now once again an erupting volcano on the big island of Hawaii. I’d love to speculate how long this eruption might last, but do not currently have enough information to make a determination.
If I'm hearing you correctly, and the CC are right, you're using a term I've never heard before, *_"Down Dropped Block"_* A quick search shows this has something to do with fault shift? Is that correct?
I had wondered which volcanos would resume erupting, Mauna Loa or Kilauea. Guess Kilauea won this time! I've noticed over the years that these two volcanoes have alternated, it's very rare to have both erupting at same time. I suspect while their magmatic plumbings are believed to be separate, they must have a shared section or has a connecting pipeline or two somewhere. EDIT: Typo fixes.

Apparently this is quite visible from the viewing areas in the national park! Quite a vigorous eruption so far. I love Two Pineapples, I subscribe to them as well and would encourage others to do so. They provided a lot of video used by various channels during Mauna Loa's recent eruption.
I was there back in August 2022 and Kilauea was erupting and was able to see it from VNP. Not as brilliant as it is now, but still a spectacular sight to be seen. I highly suggest it if you can make the trek to see this one
I live in Volcano for past 20 years, 2 miles from the crater. I saw it last night up close at the viewing point. It is entirely up to Pe'le' as to what will happen next. Great accurate info & video. Mahalo .
I was glued to the internet when the draining of the caldara and the fissure open up. Massive energy actions compared to man made efforts are always eye opening.
Kilauea. This is so cool. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)
Can you talk about romen cement and how that uses mostly volcano leftovers to make it and how it uses sea water not fresh water to make it unlike today cement. Why do I ask you this because if you put out the word you can help reduce sand mining saving ecosystems and reduce are fresh water use saving us.
Yeah if memory serves the main source of ash deposits for Roman Concrete was Campi Flegrei Ignimbrites and Vesuvius ash the Ignimbrites being the more desirable of the two given the lengths people went to extract it(at the expense of the city built above). Both Volcanoes are fed by a deeper magmatic source so they share a lot of chemical fingerprints even if there are slight differences in each volcanoes magma due to each of them having an independent upper magma chamber not sure how their regular ash deposits compare in effectiveness for concrete production however. There are other kinds of volcanic ash which have been used for forms of concrete for example Yellowstone ash was used to build the Hover Dam if memory serves but sand still seems to be the industry standard despite its growing scarcity and the rise in sand related crimes largely at the hands of the Sand Mafia. However as the Roman example shows one issue with volcanic ash as an alternative is that in many places the land where the desirable ash deposits are found are already occupied by human settlements since volcanic ash is really good for farming and ignimbrite deposits as well as lahar deposits make a nice relatively flat hard surface for foundations of buildings and thus cities like Rome and Naples speaking of Italy are both built on top of ignimbrites.
I'm glad too as long as it isn't erupting in the rift zones and destroying peoples' houses. Thanks for letting us know about this exciting new eruption! 🌋
As you know I live in Humboldt County California where we've recently had a series of earthquakes that have left people homeless and destroyed homes. My neighbors a block away are giving away all their stuff and moving. They gave us all their teas and spices and board games and clothes, and I asked where they were moving. They said Hawaii. That wouldn't be my first choice if trying to escape California's earthquakes.
It depends on where they’re going. The smaller islands are not geologically active, and most of the Big Island us not at major risk of lava flows. It’s mostly just the rift zones that erupt messily.
I thought the period of non-eruption since a month ago was considered a pause and the current eruption is a continuation of the last one, rather than a "new" eruption.
There's video of the lava "tidal wave" racing across the crusted over lava lake which is quite impressive. FYI: the Kilauea caldera is called Kaluapele in Hawaiian. The pit crater containing the lava lake eruption within the caldera is called Halema'uma'u (meaning "House of Ferns")...
If it’s too gassy, it can ruin the trip, too. My sister and brother in law went when it was smoky, and they couldn’t go anywhere near it. They on only got to see some lava oozing into the ocean from a distance. It was still cool, though.
I live near Kilauea. Would you please describe the nearby underwater volcano so we can collectively send excess lava there? No need for another 2018 style collapse
I bet Manua loa will erupt again this year and i wouldnt be surprised. I honestly think Loa is building up for another 84 like eruption soon since its magma chamber is still well primed for one!
I don't think Mauna loa has ever erupted twice within one year in the entire record we have of it. The interval is more like once every 5 years, though there have only been 3 eruptions since 1950. Plus considering how quiet it is, it's definitely not refilling quickly enough to erupt within a year.
@@amcginnis1234 possible but i believe the big island has entered a new eruption period where Loa and Kilauea will feed off one another again that hasnt happened in 50 years now
can you do an indepth video on lake taupo new zealand, i've just moved to the area and am interested in it and given all the recent shakes how likely it is to go up without much warning thanks!
It's a section of a caldera rim that has dropped by several meters. You can see two at the 1:04 mark, one is just above the lava lake level and the second just behind that a little further away, roughly center of the image.
So I was wondering if the Mauna Loa eruption was maybe caused by Kiluea putting pressure on its magma chamber, like popping a zit by squeezing it. Anyone know if that's a possibility?
Maybe but the inverse is more likely. Mauna loa is MUCH larger and has a dike or blade shaped magma chamber, meaning when it inflates with lava it inflates laterally and pushes on Kilaueas magma chambers and conduit. Kilauea's magma chambers largely just inflate vertically/upwards, so it can't really push on Mauna loa much. When Mauna loa is full of lava, it sort of squeezes Kilauea's shallow plumbing system shut. This could be why Kilauea's eruption slowed in the weeks before Mauna loa erupted. Then as Mauna loa drained of magma, it relieved the pressure on Kilauea, so Kilauea suddenly had room to fill underground and the eruption paused (lava no longer forced to the surface). It took a few weeks for Kilauea to refill, but once it did, this eruption resumed. If you Google something like "shallow relationship between Kilauea and Mauna Loa" you'll find some papers about this.
True story. So I followed the 2018 lower east rift zone eruption that claimed over 700 homes. A few months into the eruption I saw a community meeting where one speaker who was clearly Hawaiian step up the the mic. He said "Us true Hawaiians know what's up. Pele is very angry. Stop the tours." At the time, the park service and HVO were taking media reporters out onto the flow. This apparently upset the native Hawaiian people. So around two days later, the park service and HVO announced they would cease all tours out onto the lava flow. Three days after that, Fissure 8 stopped erupting and the eruption ended. Now I am not a super religious person but I saw this happen. It's not a rumor. Not something I read. This was what I saw and heard.

There ARE generally warning signs beforehand.
This is good for Hawaii tourism to have an active volcano again. Kilauea once again showing it is still the king active volcano of Hawaii.

There is a long way to go before that caldera is back
I hope Kilauea hasn't gone to sleep before I get a chance to visit Hawaii. Volcanoes National Park is on my travel bucket list.
If it’s too gassy, it can ruin the trip, too. My sister and brother in law went when it was smoky, and they couldn’t go anywhere near it. They on only got to see some lava oozing into the ocean from a distance. It was still cool, though.
I visited the Volcano last week and it started this week. Bad luck I think.

Hopefully there is no Rift Zone situation again. I'm thinking it was sometime in 2018.
any recent Cascade updates like the three sister St helen’s ect?
Kilauea the young volcano with lots of youth energy
Can new lava remelt the previous eruption’s lava/ thus adding to the lake? Thanks ~Smile oN
To a slight degree, yes, but not by much.
It does by a measurable amount, but we are talking about a fraction of a percent.

Earth has another pimple and it's popping. Need more LAVA!
