Kīlauea continues to erupt on its lower east rift zone, as glow and diffusion of gas from a couple spots within fissure 8 persist.  The surface of the pond is almost entirely crusted over, and is far below the pu‘u’s rim.  There is no visible molten lava throughout the channelized system, only at the ocean … More Lava Update | August 12, 2018

The Hawaii Lava Update is a collaboration between Paradise Helicopters pilots, guests, and professionals to bring you the most recent activity of the volcanoes found in Hawaii. When possible, we fly professional photographers and videographers. We also have a few GoPros that get video for us. Whatever the source, we love sharing the power and incredible diversity of our volcanic home. Check back often, because Pele is as unpredictable as she is beautiful!
