May 12, 2017 Kilauea Lava Update

Active lava lake… more lava flows going down the Pali… ocean entry lava delta growing rapidly! Pu’u ‘O’o was accessible… Pele’s lava lake spattering vigorously. The 61G surface flows are still creeping over the Pali… but they still have yet to reach the steeper part of the downslope. Pele’s molten lava continues to pour into the ocean at Kamokuna… plenty lava rivulets are now rapidly rebuilding the bench. Again we saw no outbreaks at all on the coastal flats. Mother’s Day Ducky joined Leilani, special guest Schele Triplett, Bruce Omori and I for a magnificent overflight with Paradise Helicopters’ pilot Sean Regehr… nobody does it like Paradise!
