Kīlauea Volcano — Lava Oozing

Lava oozes from a small breakout near Bryson's cinder quarry on Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone. The breakout was part of a small overflow from the fissure 8 lava channel. HVO field crews track the fissure 8 overflows, breakouts and lava channel behavior as conditions allow, and report information to the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency.
