While Kona has only seen a few days with strong vog from this eruption, the volcano continues to build Fissure 8 into a volcanic cone or pu`u with continuous lava extrusion and plumes of lava over 100 feet high. Here is a view of the volcanic eruption at Leilani cone (Fissure 8) and the river of lava flow that is moving down and into the ocean where Kapoho Bay used to be:

The fissure 8 fountain reaches heights of 100 - 130 feet, as measured during the overnight hours of June 11-12. Chilled lava fragments have built a three-sided cone around the fissure (on the downwind side) that is about 100 feet high.

With all the lava and eruption in Puna, we should not lose sight of the beauty that is the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha nui loa to all who live and visit here!
