00:00:11.530 --> 00:00:15.190
We have on going activity at Kileuea summit.

00:00:15.190 --> 00:00:21.820
So the level of earthquake activity remains
elevated and the summit continues to subside.

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:26.480
We’re having continuing ash emissions from
the summit crater.

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.759
They’re intermittent and they’re rising
a few thousand feet above the crater.

00:00:31.759 --> 00:00:36.660
Yesterday we had a little bit of ash fall
down in Punalu'u and that kind of activity

00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:41.760
may continue throughout the day if the situation
stays as it is.

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:43.640
But still pretty low ash emissions.

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.670
But lots of activity there out there as far
as the earthquake activity and subsidence

00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:48.719
.

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.859
Down on the east rift zone, activity also
continues.

00:00:52.859 --> 00:00:58.690
The biggest fissure we’ve had so far is
fissure 17 and we’ve been tracking that

00:00:58.690 --> 00:00:59.960
over the last day.

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:04.989
The lava flow that’s been heading east toward
the highway.

00:01:04.989 --> 00:01:13.900
The good news is, the lava flow advance has
slowed overnight so it’s moving just a few

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:23.880
10s of yards every hour .It’s really slowed
down since early yesterday.

00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:27.770
The fountaining at fissure 17 has also diminished
some.

00:01:27.770 --> 00:01:32.701
But the latest news we have is from an overflight
from this morning and there’s been some

00:01:32.701 --> 00:01:43.680
new fissures open up up-rift of 17, so we
think we’re now at fissures 20 and 21.

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.750
We just got the information on these new fissures
so we’re kind of working it out.

00:01:47.750 --> 00:01:52.450
And they’re very small still but the potential
for them to produce increased fountaining

00:01:52.450 --> 00:01:57.509
and lava flows is there and we will be watching
those closely throughout the day.

00:01:57.509 --> 00:02:02.640
They’re just up-rift from 17.

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.479
This week we’re also going to be looking
at putting out some new seismic instruments

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:12.120
further down-rift to be able to track earthquake
activity, if it were to move more to the east.
