So Much For Muh Carbon Control! Hawaii's Mauna Loa Volcano Has Begun Erupting

After being quiet for 38 years, Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano is erupting. On the same island (the Big Island or Kona) in 2018 Kilauea volcano erupted for four months.

Scientists at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the eruption of Mauna Loa began at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday in Mokuaweoweo, the summit caldera of the volcano. United States Geological Survey webcams at the summit clearly showed a long fissure erupting fountains of lava that are spreading along the caldera floor.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) initially said that lava was contained to the caldera. But within two hours of the start of the eruption, residents on the Kona side of the volcano recorded images that appeared to show lava starting to flow down the mountain, according to a report by Hawaii News Now.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said, “All vents remain restricted to the summit area. However, lava flows in the summit region are visible from Kona. There is currently no indication of any migration of the eruption into a rift zone.”
