Updates on Kilauea Eruptions Recent Highlights from the "Pu`u `O`o" eruption ofKilauea's East Rift Zone One Fine Daybreak at the Pu`u `O`o cone Eruption Episode 55: 24 Feb 1997 to Dec 2005 Happy 23nd Birthday to Pu`u `O`o on 3 Jan 2006 Current eruption information for thosevisiting Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park can be obtained from theNational Park Service at 808-985-6000 or at their web site: Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park . Additional updates, and detailed eruption and background informationcan be obtained from the USGS Hawaii Volcano Obervatory web site at: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/ . View near real-time images of the Big Island obtained by the NOAA GOES-9 satellite at: http://virtual1.pgd.hawaii.edu/goes/ . For most recent updates, please visit the HVO website. Overview    Episode 55 of the 18 year old Pu`u `O`o eruption started on 24Feb 1997. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) has identied each distinct phase of the Pu`u `O`o eruption with an episode number; For a summary ofprevious episodes, see our compilation .    This latest phase of eruptive activity at Kilauea volcano started unceremoniously on 24 Feb with the appearance of a small amount of molten lava deep within the Pu`u `O`o crater, visible only from above. Yet the ensuing 9 years have seen multiple spectactular periods of eruptive activity. The first couple of years of activity are detailed on our episode 55 page . PLEASE NOTE: HCV discontinued making detailed eruption updates in late 1999, once web capability was established at HVO. Synopsis of events    1997 through 1998 saw increased activity, a resumption of the ocean entry, lava bench formation and collapse (at the seashore), crater overflows and a general collapse of the large main crater cone bulit in priot episodes of the eruption.    1999 through 2001 saw continue eruptions from a crater flank vent, lava flows exiting the National Park on the East Flank and new ocean entries.    2002 and 2003 saw a shift of activity from the coast to upslope, with new surface flows and associated activity    2004 and 2005 saw resumption of vigorous ocean entries, including a new addition to the wester margin of the flow field. Activity upslope also continued, off and on, through the period. some more details    Episode 55 arrived after a 24 day-long hiatus in eruptive activity. This hiatus in turn followed a brief but spectacular fissure eruption (Episode 54) at Napau Crater in late January 1997. This last long hiatus had many volcano watchers presuming that the multi-year Pu`u `O`o eruption was finally Pau ( Pau in Hawaiian means over, or finished). This is because long hiatuses have not occurred duringthe last decade at Pu`u `O`o (the last long one was in mid-1986, when volcanism switched from episodic, 300-500m high, fire fountains of lava to continuous effusion).    Episode 55 has seen shifting vent locations on flanks of Pu`u `O`o cone and abuild up of the lava shield mostly on the south flank of the Pu`u `O`ocone. The lava pond within the Pu`u `O`o crater has intermittently risento produce flows on its east and west margins as well. The lava shield is the low bulge beneath the cone in the photo at the top ofthe page (taken on 26 May 1997).     Surface volcanic activity was extremely limited in the early days of Episode 55, occurring only deep within the Pu`u `O`o crater. On 28 March 1997, the lava level in the Pu`u `O`o crater rose and began feeding the subterreanean channels ("lava tubes") that fed small cones just south of the cone. Lava began erupting from several of these cones,enlarging the lava shield formed over the past 16 years.    In early July of 1997, lava began flowing down toward the coast, resulting in a resumption of ocean entry on July 12 near the eastern edge of the national park. This was the first time since January that surface flows at Kilaueareached the sea; prior to that, episode 55 had been restricted mostly tothe area around the Pu`u `O`o cone at elevations over 2000 feet. Between 29 July and 4 Aug the lava-sea entry had temporarily ceased, but restarted and on 11 Auga lava flow overran a 700 year-old Hawaiian temple ("Waha'ula heiau"), almost completely obscuring the ancient rock walled structure.Additionally, lava from within the Pu`u `O`o lava lake has risenhigh enough to have spilled out of the crater within the Pu`u `O`o cone and over the side at least twice in the past month.    Between early August and October 1997, the volcano experienced a number of lava overflowsfrom the Pu`u `O`o crater, which initiate with molten lava ponding inthe crater until it spills over the rim, issuing rivulets of lava to theeast and west of the crater. Although spectacular, these particular flows have yet to reach more than about 0.7 km from the crater. The lava that isfeeding the ocean entries issues from vents just outside of the Pu`u `O`ocone into lava tubes that run to the coast. These tubes experienceoccasional short-lived breakouts where lava flows on the surface. Otherwise,surface activity is typically very limited in locations away from the Pu`u `O`o vents. Both ocean entries have repeatedly formed lava benches, where new land is building out beyond the former seacliffs. Some or all of these unstable land masses have repeatedly collapsed into the sea. An example of whatthe benches looked like as of October 1997 is in the image to the left (outlined by white lines). Early in November 1997, one of the two lava benches suffered a large collapsed into the sea, taking some 4.75 acres of new landscape with it. Later, lava from the same tube system rebuilt a shelf at the foot of the cliffs formed during the collapse.Additional large collapses have occurred, such as on 15 January andbetween 16 and 19 February, 1998. These episode 55 photos of the two active benches (posted 3 and 18 Nov 97)can be viewed at the USGS-HVO web site or by clicking on the small versionsto the left. ( images Courtesy of the USGS-HVO ) The cliffs formed during the 18 Nov. collapse can be seen in the lower small photo to the left. This latest collapse illustrates that lavabenches form and then collapse at unpredictable intervals. HVO warns visitors that "these benches can collapse into the sea without warning, triggering steam explosions that hurl dense rock and molten spatter tens of meters inland. No one should venture onto the benches, no matter how stable the new land may appear." Additionally, the photos (to the right) are of the two activesea entries as they appeared in late March of 1998. Click on the images to view full size (photos by Ken Rubin)    In mid Jan 1998, there was a breif surge in activity at Kilauea, whereina lava intrusion caused rapid inflation of the summit, followed by defaltion.A summit eruption did not occur. Rather, the lava appeared to have enteredthe East Rift Zone and caused enhanced activity at the Pu`u `O`o vent (17 km to the east) and an increase in surface flow activity at pointsbetween Pu`u `O`o and the coast. The earthquakes and magma surge disrupted the steady-state pattern of activity that has characterized most of the past6 months of the eruption. This latest disruption subsided in (Feb. 1998) and the eruption is returned to a pattern more typical of previous months.    By Feb 1998 the eruption had settled into a routine of fairlysteady magma supply to the Pu`u `O`o crater and the sea entriesnear the coast. A number of additional bench collapses, brieferuption hiatuses and surface flow breakout episodes have also occurred,as well as a short period of enhance lava-lake activity at the craterin May 1998 that did not affect the overall effusion rate at the ocean entries.In early July, one of the two ocean entries that have been activefor most of Episode 55 (the Wah`aula entry) died but the other remained active.    1999 through 2001 saw continue eruptions from a crater flank vent. There was a brief hiatus in eruptive activity during a new intrusion of magma on the East Rift Zone, closer to the Kilauea caldera (Sept 1999) but activity resumed a week and a half later with spectacular surface flows, that made it to the sea by December of that year. Flows exited the park in early 2000 and for the next couple of years overran five abandoned houses in Royal Gardens subdivision (thus increasing to 189 the total number of structures destroyed by this eruption). A new ocean entry began on the eastern edge of Kupapa`u, marking the first ocean entry outside the national park since 1991.    In early 2002 tube flow slowed and ocean entries stopped. Breakouts occured higher upslope and by march had created a nearly 3km long ridge of lava shields above 2000 ft. elevation. Crater activity also picked up and fed new flows into Royal Gardens. By Mother's Day, another flow (this time on the western edge of the flow field) issued from a flank vent on the west of Puu Oo and entered forested lands and took over most of the lava supply from the other parts of the flow. It reach the sea in July 2002 and continued for the next year. A second breakout from this same lava tube sent a new flow seaward in early 2003 for a few weeks. By later in the year, activity had diminished near the coast activity shifted upslope again as surface flows and spatter cones.    Jan 2004 saw resumption of flows directly from the crater for the first time since 1998 and activity there continued through March 2004. A flow named for Martin Luther King Day (the MLK flow) began during this period. A second breakout occured on Prince Kuhio Day in March, producing what HVO calls the "PKK" flow. It was the main flow through by Aug 2004, and continued through 2005, with ocean entries from two branches begining in Nov 2004 and June 2005. This became the dominant tube by August 2004. The Mother's day tube also once again began producing "rootless" shields in early 2004, producing a flow that entered the sea from May to July 2004. Activity resumed in and around Pu`u `O`o crater in Jan 2005, with spattering through Feb. 2005 and the formation of sevaral small lava ponds. The PKK flow remained active through Dec 2005. Activity remains intermittent as well on the MLK flow.

TIPS & SUGGESTIONS Tip 1 – Make reservations early. Some hotels cut off online reservations 1 to 3 days before check-in time. Tip 2 – When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Print a copy of this message to take with you ... and don't delete the original email until you have completed your stay and know you have been billed correctly. Tip 3 – Our hotel cost codes are based on the lowest peak season rates available to all guests. We do offer discount rates for corporate and government employees, AAA and AARP members, seniors, and other special groups. But we do not base our cost codes on these discounts. Off-season room prices may be much lower than our cost codes indicate. This is especially true for coastal hotels during the winter.

Hawaiians used the word

Introduction to Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i Eruption Update Eruption Summary Hazards History Panorama Images Kilauea -- Perhaps the World's Most Active Volcano View north-northeast across Kilauea's summit caldera and Halema`uma`u crater (left of center) Kilauea is the youngest and southeastern most volcano on the Big Island of Hawai`i. Topographically Kilauea appears as only a bulge on the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa, and so for many years Kilauea was thought to be a mere satellite of its giant neighbor, not a separate volcano. However, research over the past few decades shows clearly that Kilauea has its own magma-plumbing system, extending to the surface from more than 60 km deep in the earth. In fact, the summit of Kilauea lies on a curving line of volcanoes that includes Mauna Kea and Kohala and excludes Mauna Loa. In other words, Kilauea is to Mauna Kea as Lo`ihi is to Mauna Loa. Hawaiians used the word Kilauea only for the summit caldera, but earth scientists and, over time, popular usage have extended the name to include the entire volcano. 11 October 2002 The eruption of Kilauea Volcano that began in 1983 continues at the cinder-and-spatter cone of Pu`u `O`o (high point on skyline). Lava erupting from the cone flows through a tube system down Pulama pali about 11 km to the sea (lower left). Map of Kilauea, including location of Pu`u `O`o Sketch showing magma reservoir & active lava-tube system Kilauea is the home of Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess. Hawaiian chants and oral traditions tell in veiled form of many eruptions fomented by an angry Pele before the first European, the missionary Rev. William Ellis, saw the summit in 1823. The caldera was the site of nearly continuous activity during the 19th century and the early part of this century. Since 1952 there have been 34 eruptions, and since January 1983 eruptive activity has been continuous along the east rift zone. All told, Kilauea ranks among the world's most active volcanoes and may even top the list. | Eruption Update | Eruption Summary | Hazards | History | Kilauea Facts Map of the Island of Hawai`i Location 19.425 N 155.292 W Elev.

Most Recent Eruption Continuous since January 3, 1983 Number of Historical Eruptions 61, not counting the continuous lava-lake activity in Halema`uma`u crater Summit Caldera The caldera itself has no Hawaiian name other than Kilauea but houses the famous crater, Halema`uma`u; "hale" is a house, "ma`uma`u" a type of fern. Kamapua`a, a jilted suitor of Pele, is said to have built a house of ferns over Halema`uma`u to keep Pele from escaping her home and causing eruptions. The ploy failed.
