Kīlauea's ERZ Eruption: 29 Years and Counting
Detailed Description
On Mar. 6, 2011, a spectacular fissure eruption
between Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō and Nāpau Crater on Kīlaueas east rift zone produced
lava flows that poured into a pre-existing ground crack and advanced
through an 'ōhi'a forest. For scale, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
scientists (lower right) can be seen walking toward the flow.
