STORY SUMMARY

HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - Kīlauea summit is still exhibiting signs of heightened unrest, and summit seismicity remains elevated.

This story appears in the above BIVN Update. The video will jump to the associated story when played. (A synthesized voice was utilized in the narration for this story)

(BIVN) – A wet Sunday generated quite a bit of steam at Kīlauea’s summit caldera, visible on this US GS webcam, partially obsurred by clouds and rain.

Kīlauea is not erupting, although scientists say the volcano continues to exhibit signs of heightened unrest.

Inflationary tilt and elevated seismicity continue at the summit, with daily rates somewhat variable. The were over 120 earthquakes recorded in the summit area on Saturday. Over the past several months, both deformation and seismicity have been elevated beyond the rates observed before the January 5th summit eruption.

This story will be updated with the latest USGS HVO update when it is published.
