🧪 Beautifully complex patterns in this multilobed lava flow creates coves & headlands at the Kapoho ocean entry early one June morning in 2018. This lava flowed 10 km from eruptive fissure 8 in #Leilaniestates to get here. This #eruption was the last time lava entered the sea at #Kilauea #volcano 🌋

#TBT to the beginning of the 2018 LERZ #eruption of #Kilauea #volcano (#Hawaii), one year ago. It would lead to a remarkable transformation of the landscape in #LeilaniEstates. Images by @planetlabs.
Roaming in the glow-ming. The radiant aura of the erupting Fissure 8 in #LeilaniEstates at #Kilauea (photo taken on June 10). #volcanomonday
Quantitative retrieval of volcanic SO2 over #Kilauea with @NASA Terra/ASTER (90 m resolution) on May 6, 2018 indicates #LeilaniEstates fissure was probably the main source of SO2 at that time. Clouds mask some of the SO2 emissions. @USGSVolcanoes @NASAJPL
SO2 emissions that rise higher into the atmosphere can be easily detected from space, as in this @NASA Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) image from May 6. The SO2 plume seen here originates from multiple sources on #Kilauea, including the #LeilaniEstates fissure system.
