Are they already grading roads in/on the fresh lava?

Hole keeps getting bigger! camera has not moved. Widening on the left and left front, and you can see the crack getting bigger across the crater next to the old parking lot, and more slippage on the right.

From USGS Facebook
Day by day, the summit of Kilauea volcano subsides around Halema‘uma‘u Crater. This series of images spans June 1 to 10 from our summit wide-angle webcam mounted on the tower of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Further slumping occurs during every explosive event. Right now, we're calling the larger explosions "Type A". To be classified as such, our scientists see four distinct geophysical signals: seismic, infrasound, = tilt, and GPS. Recently, the explosions have been occurring once per day and have been registering as a magnitude 5+ earthquake. However, they're not typical earthquakes at all - there is no major fault-rupturing event. Instead, pressure builds up beneath the rubble pile that is choking the conduit and is released as the explosion.

Yup! And it's been pretty clear for the last few hours! I think it is gonna give us a decent pop soon.. bigger than normal. There is a significant lack of off gassing right now.

A series of wide-angle webcam images, captured by a camera in HVO's observation tower (https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/multimedia_webcams.html) between June 1 and June 10, 2018, show ongoing subsidence around Halema'uma'u at the summit of Klauea in this animated GIF.  A photogrammetry survey of Klauea's summit by the U.S. Department of Interior Unmanned Aircraft Systems' (UAS) Klauea response team show the topography of Halema'uma'u as of June 8. Cracks through the former overlook parking lot (bottom of image) wrap around the east margin of Halema'uma'u; the once-popular overlook viewing area (closed since 2008 due to volcanic hazards associated with the former summit lava lake) has collapsed into the crater. New faulting and slumping are obvious on the crater's west side (left). The depth of the crater has increased by roughly 250 meters (820 feet) since early May. Limited UAS flights into the summit area are conducted with permission and in coordination with Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park to collect quantitative and qualitative data needed for updated hazard assessments, all of which are shared with emergency managers.

Updates? What's currently happening? Kilauea peak caldera is subsiding with the crater inside collapsing multiple times a day. It builds up pressure and pops 1-2x a day(usually at night) some ash into the air. Nothing big... yet. It has been pretty steady like that for about a week now. |

Another question from the unwashed segment. At the summit, and underneath the debris that is falling into the vent/crater, is there an empty space? A void? Does the debris sit right on top of the pool of magma? I think I remember during one of the updates that the depth of vent is on the order of 1000 feet. That would be a pretty large open space.

This is super simplified and I might be wrong in some regards, but this is the gist... Basically the mama drained out of the upper pipe-works of Kilauea.. and the ground above it is sinking into the voids. How much drained out, i dont know, but they are saying that the lava coming out at the fissure now is from deep down. My guess is there is something sitting on top the magma, where it be a plug of cooled magma or collapsed stuff, but it is hot enough that the ground water is heating up and blowing, and that is what is causing the summit eruptions every day.

Just found this. Thought it was interesting.
Hawaii Shallow Magma Chamber? A giant magma chamber burning beneath the Hawaiian Islands is closer to the surface than any other magma chamber yet measured—as little as 1.9 to 2.5 miles (3 to 4 kilometers) below the surface, scientists say. |

Sulfuric acid forms very opaque clouds when aerosolized. The drones are unlikely to work long exposed to that.
