O Kilauea continua fazendo jus à sua reputação de vulcão mais ativo do mundo.
Desde janeiro de 1983, o Kilauea cobriu boa parte da costa sudeste do Havaí com lava fresca.
O centro da erupção é Pu’u O’o - uma cratera a sudeste do cume de Kilauea. Durante maio e junho de 2012, lava fresca emergiu de Pu’u O’o, percorrendo túneis de lava descendo as íngremes escarpas de Kilauea.
A lava emergiu no pali (uma palavra havaiana para escarpa) e na planície costeira, mais abaixo na montanha.
Kilauea continues to earn its reputation as
Earth’s most active volcano. Since January 1983, Kilauea has coated much
of the south-east coast of Hawaii in fresh lava.
The centre of the eruption is Pu’u O’o - a crater south-east of Kilauea’s summit. During May and June 2012, fresh lava emerged at Pu’u O’o, then travelled through lava tubes down Kilauea’s steep slopes.
The lava emerged on the pali (a Hawaiian word for cliff) and on the coastal plain, further down the mountainside.
