Horrible today: Live Footage Collapse Southeastern Crater of Kilauea Volcano Frights Local Resident
The USGS Hawaiian Volcanoes Observatory said earthquake Again shook the summit of Kīlauea Volcanoes, with activity focused in two clusters south and southeast of the Kaluapele caldera. Seismicity also increased slightly in the upper East Rift Zone and Southwest Rift Zone, the scientists reported.
No extraordinary activity was recorded along the middle and lower portions of Kīlauea's East Rift Zone. In Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, only the Mauna Iki Trail is closed due to volcanic unrest. Seismicity in Kīlauea's peak region has seen a slight increase over the past few days, following several days of lower earthquake rates.
Activity focused on two groups to the south and southeast of Kaluapele, the Volcanoes summit caldera. Most of these earthquakes had magnitudes below M2.0, but there were several earthquakes that occurred in the M2.0–M3.0 range. Seismicity has not yet reached levels prior to the recent summit eruption at Kīlauea.
