SO2 emissions from #Kilauea's #LERZ eruption remain impressive & appear to have plateaued since ramping up in early June. The total SO2 mass detected by @NASANPP OMPS since early May is now >1 million tons (1 Tg). @NASAEarth @michigantech

Fissure 8 on #Kilauea's Lower East Rift Zone #LERZ - a nursery of volcanic bombs and spatter. Expanding volcanic gases rip the clots of lava apart as they rise through the air, forming ejecta of myriad shape and size. Photos taken on June 11.
