Lava continues to erupt within Halema‘uma‘u crater. Gas emissions and seismic tremor remain elevated. Main activity shifted from the northern vent to the western vent just before 3:00 this morning.

Lake level as of 2:14 pm HST today is 176 m (577 ft) deep. Evening crew observed that fissure fountain seems weaker than last night. HVO continues to closely monitor the situation.

CORRECTION to lake level units reported at 7:30 am HST Dec 25 - lake was 176 m (577 ft). As of 11:15 am, lake depth has not changed significantly. No evidence of activity outside summit. HVO continues to monitor the situation.

Two fissures continue to erupt lava that fills a growing lake contained in Halema‘uma‘u crater. Gas emissions and seismic activity remain elevated. HVO continues to closely monitor the situation.

Several earthquakes with magnitude less than M4 were widely felt. They were located deep underground, near the town of P?hala, & are unlikely to cause a continuing hazard. No change to activity at Kīlauea's summit was observed.

Two fissures continue to erupt and are getting closer to being drowned by growing lava lake. No change in eruptive hazard is expected when that occurs. SO2 emissions and seismic tremor continue to be elevated.

Lava continues to erupt in Halema‘uma‘u. Summit gas and seismic tremor remain elevated, with minor deflation continuing. A thick plume has made lava lake height measurements difficult.
Kilauea Message Wed, 23 Dec 2020 17:49:12 HST
Two fissures continue to erupt lava into the growing lava lake in Halema‘uma‘u crater. Activity at the western vent is intermittent. Gas emissions and seismic tremor remain elevated, with minor deflationary deformation.
Kilauea Message Wed, 23 Dec 2020 14:05:56 HST
Lake level is now 158 m (518 ft) deep. No evidence of activity outside summit. Gas levels at NPS Visitor Center & overlooks have risen; these areas are now under SO2 warning. HVO continues to closely monitor situation.
Kilauea Message Wed, 23 Dec 2020 10:15:24 HST
Lava continues erupting at summit, where gas and seismic tremor remain elevated, with minor deflation. Crews observed poor air quality near HVO. Low trade winds expected in next few days. Poor summit air quality may continue.

Two fissures continue to erupt lava into the growing lava lake in Halema‘uma‘u crater. No activity outside of the crater has been observed. Gas emissions and seismic tremor remain elevated, with minor deflationary deformation.
