Volcano Updates typically contain detailed information on the active Hawaiian Volcanoes. Over the past few years, the decades-long eruption of Kilauea has begun to shift. The river of lava that flowed to the ocean for 20 years stopped, stalled for a bit, then re-established itself several miles closer to civilization. In 2011 the lava flow took out houses in Kalapana Gardens and only this year took the last remaining house in the old Royal Gardens subdivision. In late 2012 new records were set on lava lake levels within the Halema`uma`u Crater at the Jaggar Museum.

Has Kilauea changed? Is there an ocean entry? What's the lava lake level at Pu`u `O`o? Keep current with all the volcano happenings in Hawaii and elsewhere. Download Volcano Updates now.
