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.
