00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:10.840
Good morning.

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:13.460
This is the HVO Kilauea update for June 11.

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:18.850
In the Lower East Rift Zone, fissure 8 now
has 3 closely-spaced lava fountains erupting

00:00:18.850 --> 00:00:24.810
to maximum heights of 115 to 130 feet, and
is still feeding a channelized lava flow to

00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:26.970
the ocean entry at Kapoho.

00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:31.320
This morning's flight confirmed that the channel
is still full but that there have been no

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.550
recent spillovers.

00:00:33.550 --> 00:00:38.290
Last night weak lava activity was observed
at fissures 16 and 18.

00:00:38.290 --> 00:00:42.100
Gas emissions from fissure 8 are high and
were recently measured to be nearly twice

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:46.500
the value of the last two weeks, so vog is
still a concern in the area.

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:51.550
Crews have been onsite 24/7 tracking the fountains,
lava flows, and spattering in the Lower East

00:00:51.550 --> 00:00:52.610
Rift Zone.

00:00:52.610 --> 00:00:58.070
The cracks on Highway 130 are also being monitored
and no changes in temperature, width or gas

00:00:58.070 --> 00:01:01.239
output have been seen for several days.

00:01:01.239 --> 00:01:04.750
Overnight there were two explosions at Kilauea's
summit.

00:01:04.750 --> 00:01:08.170
The first, smaller event occurred at 12:46
AM.

00:01:08.170 --> 00:01:13.380
Following this event there was no significant
dropoff in seismicity until after the second

00:01:13.380 --> 00:01:16.569
larger explosion at 4:43AM.

00:01:16.569 --> 00:01:21.640
Inward slumping of the rim and walls of Halema'uma'u
contines in response to the ongoing subsidence

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.140
at the summit.

00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:28.000
Sulfur dioxide emissions at the summit have
dropped to levels about half of what was observed

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.470
before the onset of the current eruptive activity.

00:01:31.470 --> 00:01:34.539
Gas and minor amounts of ash are still being
transported downwind.
