Eruption Appears To Be Resuming At The Kilauea Summit

Just before 8:00pm, a familiar glow returned to Halema'uma'u as lava popped back up at the western vent. The Kilauea eruption paused for the 7th time the evening of December 20th, 2021, but that pause might be ending. Tiltmeters on the edge of the caldera show a inflationary signal on the backend of a DI-cycle. Thought the lava is just barely oozing out now, it could pickup again at the dominant eruptive vent inside the Kilauea caldera.
