Kalapana is a part-time home of mine, I have a couple good friends with houses in Leilani. It looks like this flow might settle in and extrude for a long time. Send good thoughts to everyone in Leilani! Most likely do not have lava insurance, and because of the gases may have a difficult time getting through security to collect any belongings.

A high risk to a smallish population means a high premium. Insurance is a business, so they have to earn more in premiums than they pay out.

Question for anybody who can answer it. How long, after these eruptions have cooled, does it take for the ground to break up enough that plant life and trees can return to the area? And are there usable hot springs?

Almost immediately, especially if there is still some vegetation nearby. The lava surfaces are fragile and contain lots of cracks from the get-go -- good places for stuff to take root. That said, the process is much faster where there is more rainfall. The 200 year old Hualalai flows are still pretty stark. After 200 years on the other side of the island you'd probably be hard-pressed to find any rock still exposed, outside of stream cuts and so on. I know there's at least one hot spring along the coast in Puna.

This is why you play the floor is lava as a kid. It's training for this stuff.

As a geology major, I've come to quite loathe scientists from other fields trying to explain virtually _anything_ Earth Science related. (Makes me wonder how I must sound to an astrophysicist trying to explain space science to people... ) But, I shouldn't be surprised that Scott Manley would be one of the ones who'd put together a video with some actual effort thrown in that's actually quite correct and accurate.

Geology is quite a fascinating study. Understanding the earth I walk on is kind of crucial for finding interesting gemstones. But I think that astrophysicists might have some useful knowledge in relation to geology since they understand nuclear energy, planetary dynamo cores, planetary formations and such. I mean, they figured out that the moon came from the earth. But there are crossovers in all fields where two sides can benefit one another by looking at the same issue through different analytical lenses. Biology majors... probably not so much. I know even Dawkins has the respect not to lecture about subjects that are far out of his major, and that's what made him useful when together with Krauss, Tyson, and Bill Nye... accept bill nye got way to big for his britches and overstepped his profession in order to preach a rather creepy narrative... I still don't know what to make of that. But I digress. I think when great minds in different fields all come together and share views, the knowledge gained can be greater than the sum of its parts. Scott is definitely a great aggregator of knowledge from many fields. A jack of many trades in his own right.

Nukes Away Clearly English isn't your strong suit, because geology is defined as "the *science* that deals with the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it." Please crawl back to the episode of "big bang theory" that you came out of. Nobody cares about your opinion on a subject you clearly understand nothing about. You shouldn't call an academic study a hobby unless you're trying to be funny. Geo: dealing with the earth Ology: a subject of study or branch of knowledge A simple breakdown of the word will tell you exactly what it means. People with any background in the sciences would know this since you really can't be in one of these fields without understanding what a latin prefix and suffix is and you have no excuse for your lack of education on the matter.

Nukes Away Now you've taken your assinine assumptions to a whole new level. I grew up on astrophysics through my local astronomical society, I was in a bill gates funded middleschool for the sciences where I took part in the search for exoplanets by recording the spectroscopy readings from a radio telescope to gather information on its chemical makeup and star wobble to indicate a jovian planet in orbit. I love every scientific pursuit. I loath none of the practices because they are all valid fields of research which advance our knowledge past what it is now. I love Scotts videos, he does an amazing service to this world by making science accessible to the masses by helping them to understand certain aspects of astrophysics. I'm not a geologist, you are just guessing and taking stabs in the dark at this point, and so far you have yet to provide a demonstrably sound argument. You don't even know what I do for a living. I'm so sorry to hear that you are not trolling, because so far you have been so absurdly asinine that I honestly thought "there's no way he can be serious". So what, then? Are you just a child? You presume I loath any non geology based science because I recognize geology as a science: you are wrong You presume I majored in geology: you are wrong. You think I have harshly judged Scott Manly by daring to acknowledge geology as a science: holy shit, you couldn't be more wrong. Everything you have stated thus far is your own worthless opinion, and the opinions of intellectual children have no place in a debate about the sciences. You are the one who loaths geologists to the point that you are a bad parody of a show that pretends to be scientific. You are the one attempting to drop trou and take a dump all over a field of study you clearly are not qualified to judge. At this point you are projecting your own ignorance on to others. Some beatdown you're giving, kid. What exactly is your major? I'm just kidding, I know you don't have one. Otherwise you wouldn't be prone to jumping to so many damn conclusions without a shred of evidence while you infer things I never even implied. And my English isn't horrible, kid, your reading skills just suck.

Loved this upload Scott. This is prob one of my fav videos you have done!

Great to see you showing an interferogram! The one that you showed is what we call the "wrapped" interferogram because the interferogram phase is wrapped every 2-pi radians. This is the way it comes out of the interferogram formation. We normally do another step to unwrap the phase and estimate the total phase variation. I posted a map made from the unwrapped phase from the interferogram pair of 23 April and 5 May on Twitter: twitter.com/EricFielding/status/992990713863331840 The unwrapped phase makes it more clear the large area around Pu'u O'o where the surface moved down as the magma deflated there. There is a smaller amount of deflation at Haleuma'uma'u.

Loved the video. Now I want to go there. Nice tune to finish on too. You have a great family

My family went on vacation to the big island some years back and noticed the same thing while driving around on the roads to and from Kona. You'd get to a point where the road had literally been dug out of a lava flow with large black igneous rock formations on each side of the highway sheered in near perfect lines perpendicular to the road. Was very fascinating to observe.

Awesome thanks for showing us, very interesting.

What a lovely and informative video! "The Earth is younger than you"....

El Mapis and Craters of the Moon are some interesting eruption zones in the US. The Southwest of the US has remnants of ancient eruptions. It's a little spooky to see red sandstone and then moonscape with sagebrush.

Awesome Video published on my birthday

KMC (Kilauea Military Camp) is an epic place to stay in the park. At night, there is no real light pollution and the amount of stars you can see is incredible.

I lived in Captain Cook and Kailua Kona in 2001 for 9 months. Hualalai volcano is not large by Big Island standards and has not erupted for 200+ years... However, the magma, water, and air circulating within the volcano's inner chambers and lava tubes is subject to tidal influence by the moon ! If one is quiet and simply meditates, one can feel the breath of the volcano emanating from Hualalai's vent !! I also swear I could hear the breathing, air movement in - iiiiinnnnnnn and out - ooouuuutttt ! Long slow sub-sonic rumbling sensations... A profound experience for me I must say. Pele revealed her self to me. A lovely woman.

Epic ending! Good job

Nice one Scott

I got to hike out to the lava fields and see a few breakouts last December. Trip of a lifetime. So so interesting.

I was heading into Leilani to help evac a coworker. We heared the radio guy state they were no longer letting people inside the subdivision. We were 3 cars back and said 'naw the letting people through'. Then when it got to the guy in front of us, 5 min later, you could see the national Guard listen for his C.O.s shouts and then stop the guy in front. It took them 5 min to get the same info that we got. So we went down to a friend's farm 1 mile down, and felt another quake. Within 2 min the area was bluish and hazy. The air smelled like a gunpowder fart and we got instant headaches. So into the truck and A/C on. The 6.9 was a biggie too.

Cool outro

I went to hawaii when I was younger and I distinctly remember walking over the fresh lava flows at the time. they had pathways marked safe by reflectors, but the reflectors themselves were melting into puddles. After a few hours of exploring I looked down at my brand new Nike shox only to notice I had pretty much melted thru the bottoms entirely!

I went in 2008-ish, and we walked through the Kilauea caldera prior to the crumbling (1:50). I was most surprised by the jagged nature of the lava. We also went into one of the unlit lava tubes that terminated after a few hundred meters. We turned off all of our lights, and just sat in pitch blackness, unable to see anything. Our friend then turned on his light, and pointed out an almost perfectly cubical rock (about 12" each side), and said, "so where do you think that came from?" I looked up, and there was an almost perfectly cubical hole in the ceiling. Despite the fact that it was perfectly safe, I wasn't so sure I wanted to be there anymore...

I am a geologist and you did a nice job.

We visited the Volcano Observatory in the 80's during heavy rain. I was alarmed to see a tiltmeter showing an extreme change, and considered getting off the mountain before being vaporized. But one of the scientists explained that the sensors were in holes that sometimes filled with water, and an eruption was not about to happen. Beautiful country up there, looks like Mars.

Love going to the Big Island.... I usually stay in Kona.. since the eruption started i want to fly out now!

I visited many of the same places about 18 months ago including the lava tube by the Kona airport. Family & friends live in Kona.

It's amazing to see how nature creates all and how we imitate it already done

If you're interested about this kinda stuff, you really should check out the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago in Iceland. They are a series of volcanic islands, the newest being Surtsey, from the 60's. The earliest eruption there was in the 70's, and observing how they dealt with the situation is amazing.

Looking at the lava lake is like a "model" of plate tectonics. The "black slabs" are the continents. The red lava lines are faults and spreading zones. You can even see mini subduction zones.

Fun fact about the stacks of rock, although a large number of those by major roads are built by tourists, the ancient Hawaiians actually built those (if im not mistaken, could be since its been a while since ive directly studied the culture) as a form of trail marker. It's worth noting that the park service is not a fan of tourists building them in the park.

Approprie song and instrument choice by Skye.

Very interesting. Hope you were not endangered at any point. This lava tunnel looked wow creepy and dangerous :O ;)

Awesome!

great video

Looks like you got to be one of the last to actually see the lava lake on the summit of Kilauea. As I'm sure you're aware, the lake drained completely and the caldera collapsed within a couple of months after this video. Thankfully, the park is open again now, but there is currently no lava flowing anywhere in the park to see. I was there in summer of 2017 and I'm looking forward to going back in March 2020 and seeing how things have changed since the last time I was there.

I'm incredibly jealous of you for getting to walk out there and take all those photos and rocks. Would you say that walking on new rock is probably the closest thing to walking on another world that any average person can do (as long as its safe to traverse anyways.)?

Apparently lava insurance is a thing, but if you live in an area that needs it, it is exorbitantly expensive. Most of these people lost everything, and have no insurance to cover it. Thanks for the update. I wonder if this is gonna flow and go, or spray and stay?

Out of curiosity, I sent an email to the Keck observatory a few days ago and got a very nice response the next day. Keck 2 is OK but Keck 1 was slightly damaged from one of The earthquakes that they suffered. They expect to have it repairedj in a few days.

It's interesting that the timing corresponds to a somewhat unusual solar storm event that involved faster than normal particle streams.

It's funny that the most active volcano on earth is actually one of the safest. The lava there is hotter and less viscous than most others, so it flows easily and doesn't build up pressure and explode as most volcanoes do.
