Kīlauea's Kahauale‘a 2 lava flow

The Kahauale‘a 2 lava flow, as of April 18, 2014, is shown in pink, with a yellow line indicating the active lava tube. The most distant active front of the flow retreated over the past week, probably in response to a DI event. The area covered by older lava flows erupted from Kīlauea in 1983-2013 is shown in gray. An updated map is posted at https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/multimedia_maps.html after every Hawaiian Volcano Observatory overflight of the flow.
