Извержение вулкана Килауэа: встреча двух стихий.

Вулкан Килауэа находится на Большом острове Гавайского архипелага и занимает почти 14% его территории.Килауэа - самый молодой из наземных гавайских вулканов (США) и один из самых активных действующих вулканов на Земле. Высота Килауэа - 1247 метров над уровнем моря, его основание уходит на дно Тихого океана на глубину ок��ло 5 км.  

Последнее извержение Килауэа было в 1983 году и продолжается по настоящее время. Килауэа считается местом обитания Пеле — гавайской богини вулканов. По ее имени названы некоторые лавовые образования, например, «слезы Пеле» (маленькие капли лавы, которые студятся на воздухе и принимают фигуру слезы) и «волосы Пеле» (тонкие нити вулканического стекла обсидиана, возникающие в итоге быстрого остывания лавы при стекании в океан).

Профессиональная спортсменка Элисон Тил стала первой девушкой, решившей устроить экстремальный серфинг возле извергающегося вулкана. Бурлящие потоки лавы стекают прямо в океан, в то самое место, где и решила поплавать спортсменка. Тут стоит быть предельно осторожным и оставаться на чеку, ведь скорость, с которой движется раскаленная лава, может составлять несколько метров в секунду, а температура ее колеблется в районе 500–1200° C — этого с лихвой хватит, чтобы моментально свариться заживо.

За Килауэа круглосуточно наблюдают десятки специалистов со всего мира. На кадрах с Гавайев – огненные потоки лавы стекают со склонов вулкана прямо в Тихий океан. По утверждению ученых, при контакте раскаленной субстанции и воды брызги лавы взлетают на десятки метров. Удивительное природное явление привлекает к вулкану Килауэа туристов, которые желают увидеть столкновение стихий вживую. Однако геологи не рекомендуют приближаться к вулкану, поскольку тот может оказаться непредсказуемым.

Kilauea Volcano Eruption: A Meeting of Two Elements.

Kilauea Volcano is located on the Big Island of the Hawaiian archipelago and occupies almost 14% of its territory. Kilauea is the youngest of the Hawaiian land volcanoes (USA) and one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. Kilauea is 1,247 meters above sea level, its base goes to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to a depth of about 5 km.

The last eruption of Kilauea was in 1983 and continues to this day. Kilauea is considered the home of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. Some lava formations are named after her, for example, "Pele's tears" (small drops of lava that cool in the air and take the shape of a tear) and "Pele's hair" (thin threads of volcanic obsidian glass that appear as a result of the rapid cooling of lava as it flows into the ocean).

Professional athlete Alison Teel became the first girl to try extreme surfing near an erupting volcano. Bubbling lava flows straight into the ocean, the very place where the athlete decided to swim. Here you should be extremely careful and stay on guard, because the speed at which the hot lava moves can be several meters per second, and its temperature fluctuates around 500–1200° C — this is more than enough to instantly boil alive.

Kilauea is monitored around the clock by dozens of specialists from all over the world. In the footage from Hawaii, fiery lava flows flow from the slopes of the volcano straight into the Pacific Ocean. According to scientists, when the hot substance comes into contact with water, splashes of lava fly up tens of meters. An amazing natural phenomenon attracts tourists to the Kilauea volcano who want to see the clash of the elements live. However, geologists do not recommend approaching the volcano, as it may prove unpredictable.

Kilauea Eruption, March 20, 2025

"Stomp-Rocket": A New Type of Eruption

When Kilauea's caldera collapsed in 2018, it came with a sequence of 12 closely-timed eruptions that did not match either of the typical volcanic eruption types. Usually, eruptions are either magmatic -- caused by rising magma -- or phreatic -- caused by groundwater flash-boiling into steam. The data from Kilauea matched neither type. (Image credit: O.

Christmas With Madam Pele

Aloha kākou. It’s going to be a very special Christmas with Madam Pele coming to pay a visit. Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park (HVNP) reported that Kīlauea erupted early this morning. The eruption started at 2:30AM in Halema’uma’u Crater. There was an increase in earthquake activity beneath the Kilauea summit starting at about 2AM. We did not feel any tremors at that time. “A video camera captures…

Aloha from Hawaii..

I got a once in a lifetime chance to photograph the eruption at Kilauea. It's pretty wild that it just happened to be going off on 3/20/25. We had already made plans but did a quick change of plans to experience this first hand.

These things are hard to capture on film! The bright color makes the individual stamen hard to distinguish. I have a couple more photos that are too out-of-focus and the flowers become red blobs.

things about hawaii in no particular order

human things get stuck in lava and sort of fossilized? they may be from far away and got carried to where they are. yeah thats a bunch of loose hardware in that tide pool rock

turtles are like not rare or hard to see. those fools are all over the place chillin and munching algae and dooting around in the shallows

the big island has a crazy rain shadow because mauna loa and mauna kea are so tall the rain can’t climb all the way up the east side of the island most times

there’s hardly any streetlights on the belt road. you gotta send it. locals will pass you with two feet to spare going twice as fast as you

there are these invasive mongooses everywhere. they are like little lizard cats and they make a scary screeching sound

no seagulls in hawaii. but the nene, the hawiian goose, is descended from the canada goose. it has less webbing on its feet for better walking on lava

kilauea has a baby crater called kilauea iki. “little kilauea.” and you can hike down and walk across it! the steam vents kind of smell like grain or maybe wet bread?

if you accidentally slap a sea urchin with your open hand the ends of its spines break off in your fingers and you can’t dig them out because they’re essentially tiny pieces of brittle calcite. soak in white vinegar until the swelling goes down

Moment of Zen

11 February - Kilauea's started up again with a lovely 100-meter (300ft) fountain that's been putting on a show all day on the livestream.

Reminder that even when molten, lava is rock. It doesn't weigh any less, it's just over 1000°.

Spookiest photos I have for you, NNN! Lava! This is Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii ... something like a decade ago.

Happy Halloween!

Scientists Provide More Details On Recent Kilauea Magma Intrusion

[kinialohaguy]

Luaʻi Pele

Aloha kākou. “Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano just produced a new eruption, sending lava flows into its populated east rift zone. Magma is still actively draining away from Kīlauea’s summit caldera, so it is now only a matter of time before another eruption occurs in the east rift zone. Thankfully, the area at risk is unpopulated, but further down the rift zone has numerous structures. For context,…
