Incredible footage, I'd tend to agree with others that there is slightly less intensity (certainly shorter episodes, but difficult to tell how great the lava flow is as it appears harder to see the flow from the crater (perhaps there is simply less flow too at the moment)...but I guess the volcano will need a rest at some point soon.
Just on the basis of this one eruption, it would appear that the intensity has reduced from previous weeks. But with only one eruption shown, no idea about frequency.
Can somebody explain how the walls or banks of the 'main lava river' keep getting higher and higher? The flow is higher than the surrounding 'floodplain' How?
the lava river is getting refilled by the vent - if there is to much in the river it overflows a bit - this build up higher river walls - the river level gets lower with the outflow - after everything that was to much in the river is away the wall closes and this is repeating over and over again - building up this 10-15m high river walls.
Stupid question......what happens beneath the earth when the lava leaves it??. Massive hole?? More lava?. If a seismologist has the answer please let us know!
Down in the mantle where this source lies, the rocks are like silly putty. Solid, but still able to flex and ooze around. Under the heat and pressure down there, any gaps will be quickly filled in. Most of the time, magma rises up into the crust and accumulates in chambers until there’s enough pressure that it finds a way to the surface. If you have a magma chamber big enough and shallow enough that it can be emptied in a really big eruption (a ‘supervolcano’), then the chamber can collapse and form a caldera such as Yellowstone or Crater Lake in Oregon.
Mother nature reminding us of who is in charge. Yes ma'am!
Very good again, thanks.
Thanksfor the latest information!
Awesome footage. And thank you for panning slowly from side to side! Too fast and it’s dizzying, but this speed was perfect.
very good video. There's a huge overflow from the main river I see, that means less lava flows towards the ocean at the moment.
Thank you 🌋🌋👌👌

I saw a official statement that the flow for the last days was about 10m3/second

Can you feel the heat from that far away when it erupts?
Yes we feel heat and like earthquakes, the mountain we sitting on it shaking

The hot lava is heavy, so I guess they are pushing the lighter rocks up? Gutn tog has a video called stoning the lava
hence the river analogy. Just like a river delta forms when silt falls out, channels and banks form as lava solidifies.
