Kīlauea Volcano's summit activity produces minor ash
A telephoto view of the eastern edge of Halema‘uma‘u taken just two minutes after today's (July 11) 5:45 a.m. HST collapse explosion event. Steam is intermixed with minor ash that imparts a pinkish-brown color to the plume. The energy released by the event was equivalent to a magnitude-5.3 earthquake.

Kīlauea lower East Rift Zone lava flow
During an overflight this morning, the Hawaii County Fire Department captured this image looking east toward Kapoho Crater. A breakout from the south margin of the main fissure 8 channel is sending a lava flow west of the crater (center, from left to right). The flow is advancing to the south toward Ahalanui (warm ponds).
