Lava continues to enter the ocean near the Pohoiki Boat Ramp, on Kīlauea Vo

Detailed Description

Although activity and lava output from fissure 8 remains low, the ocean entry is still active. Numerous small ooze out streams and weak plumes were observed near Ahalanui during a helicopter overflight on August 9, 2018. The southern portion of the flow margin remains close to the Pohoiki boat ramp, but has not appreciably advanced. Lava continues to enter the ocean along the northern Kapoho lobes.
