In January 2011, lava from Kilauea Volcano slowly fills low areas, covering the road, burying signs, and melting barricades. The lava flows through a kipuka of forest, and fallen trees smolder on the solid crust of very hot lava; methane flames ignite at the base of former tree trunks. In the final three seconds (2:00), flowing pahoehoe is seen in relation to the beautiful garden and home of a Kalapana resident, with permission of the homeowner. To illustrate how slowly this lava moves, the lava flow took 3 hours to reach the papaya trees, and another 5 hours to reach the home. Our thoughts and prayers are with the residents of Kalapana. Please note that lava viewing conditions change from one day to the next. Visit the HVO web site for daily updates. http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hvo/activit... Please remain within the boundaries of the safe official viewing area. Civil Defense, advised by HVO scientists, determines which locations are best for visitors to see lava flows near Kalapana. Officers patrol the area to ensure the hours of 2 - 10 pm are honored. Video shot & edited by UHH Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes (CSAV). http://www.hilo.hawaii.edu/~csav (less info)
