Kīlauea lower East Rift Zone

Detailed Description

During this morning's overflight, the incandescent areas observed deep within the fissure 8 cone yesterday appeared to be crusted over, and no active spattering was observed. Changes in vent activity make it difficult to definitively answer the question... "is the eruption paused or pau?"
