Royal Gardens Lava Flow February 3, 2010

This video was recorded by a friend on the morning of February 3, 2010 from about dawn to 10 AM. It is being used with his permission. The clips show a number of vigorous a'a flows as they reach the bottom of Royal Gardens at about the 300 foot elevation and two miles from the ocean.

The lava has its origins at the Thanksgiving Eve Breakout vent on the East Rift Zone of Kilauea at about the 2500 foot elevation. It then travels through a tube system to about the top of Royal Gardens at the 1500 foot elevation. From there, it continues flowing through the very steep Pulama Pali either on the surface or shallow tubes. The total distance to this point is about five miles.
