Helicopter overflight photo taken this morning - view toward the west directly above Kapoho Crater. The fissure 8 lava channel now bends sharply to the south on the western edge of the crater after being blocked and diverted yesterday.

Map as of 1:00 p.m. HST, July 11, 2018. Given the dynamic nature of Kīlauea's lower East Rift Zone eruption, with changing vent locations, fissures starting and stopping, and varying rates of lava effusion, map details shown here are accurate as of the date/time noted. Shaded purple areas indicate lava flows erupted in 1840, 1955, 1960, and 2014-2015.

This 88 day eruption spawned lava flows which crossed all major roads to lower Puna. Coastal villages from Kalapana to Kapoho were isolated. Major roads closed by lava included Pahoa-Pohoiki; Pahoa-Kapoho; Pahoa-Opihikao; and Pahoa-Kalapana as well as the lower Puna coastal highway.

Eruptions of the Yellowstone volcanic system have included the two largest volcanic eruptions in North America in the past few million years; the third largest was at Long Valley in California and produced the Bishop ash bed. The biggest of the Yellowstone eruptions occurred 2.1 million years ago, depositing the Huckleberry Ridge ash bed.

The station recording this pattern of seismicity was called Yellow Rock (YEL), which was approximately 1 km north of the 2004-2008 vent. YEL was removed in 2007 before the advancing Crater Glacier reached it. The YEL site is now under a hundred or so feet of ice.
