Here are some other views of Kīlauea summit eruption lava fountaining episode 38 in Halema‘uma‘u crater on the Island of Hawai‘i, and answers to some of your questions about this activity.
This eruptive episode began from the north vent at about 8:45 am HST this morning, December 6. Smaller fountains began from the south vent at 8:49 am HST and quickly grew to over 1000 feet (300 meters) high and inclined to the south, towards a closed area of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. At 9:55 a.m., hot tephra falling from this fountain destroyed the V3 streaming camera site located within less than a mile (2,000 ft/500 m) from the eruptive vents; its burial highlights the hazardous nature of this closed area. The north vent stopped erupting at 11:50 a.m., but the south vent is still fountaining as of this posting.
In addition to the tephra, volcanic gas is being emitted, with sulfur dioxide emission rates likely exceeding 50,000 tonnes per day. The high effusion rate of this episode is also producing a very dramatic plume extending over 20,000 feet above sea level. Both the National Weather Service and Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center issued special advisories about this plume, and the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency issued a message about the potential for fine glass particles in communities downwind.
Kīlauea's recent eruptive episodes have gone on for 5-9 hours; this episode has been active for about 4.5 hours now. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff are closely monitoring this activity, coordinating with partners at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency. #Kilauea #lava #eruption
@daviniaconuve Totalmente como has dicho. Si es verdad que por esa parte si me he sentido muy consentido, pero soy muy pasota y de ir a mi bola. Esos estereotipos, pues según como te eduquen pero tampoco me veo representado.
Y así transcurrió la jornada a través de las imágenes del 🛰️ MTG 0º
Por el noreste nos llegaba el alisio con su nubosidad fragmentada. Esos vientos arrastraban mucha humedad, que a sotavento de las islas condensaban, generando así vórtices de Von Kármán.

Buenas noches
#GranCanaria y su estela
Los alisios al toparse con el relieve de la isla se ven obligados a rodearla, dejando a sotavento en el mar una zona de calmas, que se aprecian muy bien gracias a los reflejos especulares del sol en la superficie del agua
