Kīlauea Volcano — Video Compilation of Lower East Rift Zone

Audio Described version at: https://www.usgs.gov/media/videos/k-lauea-volcano-compilation-lower-east-rift-zone-audio-described

This is a video compilation from a helicopter overflight of Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone on June 6, 2018, around 6:30 AM. The video shows the fissure 8 lava fountain feeding a channelized lava flow that travels northeast around the Kapoho cone, and then flows toward the south to enter the ocean at Kapoho Bay and Vacationland. The ocean entry has completely filled Kapoho Bay with lava, building a delta that extends 0.8 miles from shore.
