  1. A few more pictures of the eruption from the East Rift of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. These pictures were taken from the good folks at Hawaii Volcano Observatory of the United States Geological Survey, http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov,a truly wonderful resource. They have LOTS of additional information, pictures, maps, movies, and more. We picked these few for you as being especially illustrative, well-related to things in the other slide shows, and really pretty. Have fun!

  2. Map of lava flows from east rift of Kilauea, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, as of July 21, 2006. “Campout” flow (red) subsequently has reached the sea. USGS http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/

  3. 20060217-9470_CCH_large.jpg USGS http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/ Feb. 17, 2006. Toe of lava in breakout, Campout flow. Width of view about 3 feet (1 m).

  4. 20060625-16_TO_large.jpg USGS http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/ June 25, 2006. Looking east at lava falls. Cliff is 40-50 ft (12-15 m) high.

  5. 20060630-9424_CCH_large.jpg USGS http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/ June 30, 2006. Molten lava under crust of Campout breakout. The glowing “shark's mouth” with lava-drip stalactites for teeth, is about 3 feet (1 m) wide.

  6. August 2, 2006. Molten lava raised a hardened upper crust and then spilled out, edge of the Campout flow. http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/ 20060802_2810-SRB_large.jpg

  7. http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/ 20060804_2198-CH_large.jpg August 4, 2006. Campout flow reaches the sea, forming a new bench (left) almost 200 feet long and 25 feet wide (55 m x 8 m).

  8. August 5, 2006. Campout flow. The upper crust hardened, then raised and broke as more lava moved beneath to leak out the front. Layers can be raised 10 feet or more in a few days in this way. 20060805_0287-AD_large.jpg http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/

  9. 20060920-2683_CCH_L.jpg http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/ Sept. 20, 2006. The breakout of the Campout flow cascades over the sea cliff, which is about 50 feet (15 m) high.

  10. 31 August 2006. From the huge steam plume the far left of the picture where the young black lava meets older plant-covered flows is about 3 miles, over very rugged terrain on foot. IMG_2479-c-Elae_L.jpg http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/archive/
