Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
An orange night glow has returned to Halemaumau crater at Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. Three days ago a collapse in the summit temporarily blocked the vent. On Thursday night (Hawaiian time) lava level rose in the vent and consumed the debris which was creating the blockage. Lava continues to flow through tubes to the coast, entering the ocean at Waikupanaha and Kupapa`u. Surface lava flows are visible on the pali adjacent to Royal Gardens subdivision. No incandescence has been recorded at Pu`u `O`o crater on the east rift zone since 12th September 2008.

Chaitén Volcano, Chile
Eruptive activity continues at Chaiten volcano in Chile. Over the past week there has been a decrease in earthquake number and magnitude, with 17 earthquakes recorded per day. Ash emissions rise 1.5 km above the summit. A lava dome continues to grow in the summit crater, which may collapse generating ash and block flows in the adjacent valleys. Dome growth is mostly in the western side of the caldera. Adjacent valleys contain ash deposits which may mobilise in heavy rains, causing lahars. Chaiten volcano remains on alert level RED.

Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
A collapse occurred at the summit vent in Kilauea volcano, Hawaii on 30th June. The collapse occurred at 1:38 PM (Hawaiian Standard Time) Tuesday afternoon, and blocked the summit vent. The event produced a brown plume, booming noises, and ground shaking which was felt at Hawaii Volcano observatory and Jaggar Museum. Between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM, a section of the floor of Halemaumau Crater collapsed, widening the west rim of the summit vent. By nightfall, the evening glow from Halemaumau vent disappeared. Recently the night glow has attracted crowds of tourists at Jaggar Museum which overlooks Halemaumau crater.
