- The lava lake level has been rising slowly again since December 27th, and recently reached a new peak elevation at 2,300 feet above sea level, with a depth of 603 feet.
A synthesized voice was utilized in the narration for this story. Video and photos are from the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, NPS.
That opening shot is just stunning,nature just has a way with what we call art.... that just leaves me breathless.
God is Creator of everything good and beautiful.
Lots of great screenshots too.
I want to put that design on my living room table
@@Qodesheem I cant see him help😊
The shadow of the chopper really puts it in perspective.
Exactly what I was thinking. Really
I'm not sure I would have seen it without your comment. It really is tiny. Thanks for letting me know about it.
Also notice where the road was.
My wife and I took a helicopter flight over this in January and it is massive in person. It was just a steaming hole then. No lava but it’s very large and truly awesome
Shadows are not a good measure, they are distorted by the distance and angle to the sun.

That is so amazing. It's beautiful in the destructive yet inspiring way. Seeing the 4th of Mother Nature and the force that drives it you can't even begin to imagine it. Whoever did this video did a great job thank you
It looks kind of peaceful. As long as it stays in the Caldera. Once it flows out things get interesting. I've been to Oahu many years ago, I'd love to go to the Big Island and see this volcano. Sadly that'll have to wait another year or so.
Happy New Year's everyone. Have enjoyed all the imaging and report's great job.

Way best narrator yet brah.
Completely synthesized. It says in the description
His voice is easy on the ears
🔥
Not bad, for a Bot.🤖🤣
Description noted.
That's a pretty good synthesised voice. Congratulations to whoever chose to use it!
That was a synthesized voice? That's just as interesting to me as the volcano!
Thanks for the update!
Great video!
Have a Happy New Year!
Wow I was there 3 years ago, I have been watching since. These are the best New Year's lights you could ever see. It is incredibly raw, beautiful and real. Happy New Year to all...
Thank you for the amazing vid!

Hmmmm
Deep breaths homie, and stay off the bath salts.
Well then it's probably time to invest heavily in pop corn agriculture.
That is absolutely stunning! I wish I could see something like that in person one time.
Made it to the park in 2007, it was shrouded in clouds, never saw it really. But Hawaii is a beautiful place . Go, if you can. Worth it.
@@amykillmeyer4630 it's on my to do list that's for sure, I've been to South America and climbed Cotopaxi in Ecuador up to the refuge. Unfortunately I was not trained to go above that point due to the fact that it's ice climbing on that volcano. I was right next to a couple other major active volcanoes but Ecuador would not let you go to them because they erupted to regularly and I was close to the volcanoes in Guatemala but I have never seen a volcano lake yet! I want to see a lava lake one time or at least a lava field I recommend everybody should at least see one and understand the true power of nature! Heck my first snowman I ever made, I'm a native Floridian, was on top of the second largest active volcano in the world which is Cotopaxi!
Try to go. It is totally worth it. Even if it isn't actively erupting. The whole area is breathtaking and so interesting.
I'm impressed that's a synthesized voice , if my assumption of it being computer generated. It's cadence reminds me of the host of ripley's believe it or not.
@@Longing4theWoods it sounds like it is but it says it’s a synthesized voice in the description!
it's the best one i've heard yet. very natural sounding.
Sounds like real Voice with Little speed
@@Longing4theWoods, well think about this, the voice of “Siri” was from a real person. She sat in front of a microphone saying many many words for many many hours. Maybe this was done in a similar fashion, but the programming is far more sophisticated.
if it's a synthesized voice. how can I get more info about it? it's sound so much like @hanumanwelch's voice.
Dayum!! Once I read the description saying that this is a synthesized voice I could hear it. But it's the best synth voice I've ever heard. Either that or the description is wrong. Still, better narration than usual.
Thank you for the most interesting information..wow magnificent shots.. Happy New Year to you all!!!! You all have done a tremendous job all year round...can’t Thank You Enough. You all stay safe as well.
Excellent reporting. Factual and interesting. So refreshing.
I would love to see the narrator do updates on all volcanoes. I would definitely watch every one
Subscribed due to grate presentation and coverage of what's happening :)
HOW IS THIS VOICE SYNTHESIZED?!
Wholeness and positive vibrations to you all!! What amazing times we are in!!
Thank you 🌴😎🌴
Thank-you synthetic computer voice for your reports on the lava lake in the crater on the island of Hawaii looking forward to more reports on the lava lake in the crater on the island of Hawaii by the computer voice in the new year of 2021.
..........Oh and when will it be possible, computer voice, for people to roast marshmallows over the hot lava in the lava lake on the island of Hawaii in the new year of 2021 in the lava lake on the island of Hawaii.
Me: "I'm going to watch an active volcano"
Mom: "Bring a flashlight and warm clothing"
take, not bring
@Da Os mom might be gagging along.
It was cold when we were there like 50s windy and wet
Yep, that worked out so well for the tourists in nz...
@@cadedenton583 sound like a warm afternoon yo me right now
mahalo nui for the report!
How do I go about purchasing the land that makes up the lava island? I need to build Gannons castle
Depends on who owns it (federal, state, or private). Figure that part out and just throw wads of cash at whoever holds the deed. Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Karen-pk3uv Well it is in Volcanoes NATIONAL park... so the who part is kind knows.
smart ass
So all this is funny for you? You see all that is happening through all nations. Do you hear God speak to you? Do you know that this is a temporary home. Do you think their is more than your existence. Do you think you got here on your own,? I’m about done, we all are sinners, but believe in Jesus and the grace of the Father who gave us His only begotten Son for the perfect sacrifice to die for our sins. If not you will be ashamed at the end, because God loves you, but you won’t let Him in, you will go to hell.
@@ruthhenderson4870 sir, this is a Wendy's
Wow that’s scary and informative! The combination of current lava and weather video is helpful.
Thank you
Great. 2021 is bringing volcanos back. Happy new year
Great footage !!!
When volcanoes erupt and the lava starts flowing high, it is very beautiful to watch! It might be destructive but I find it gorgeous. Mother Nature is awesomely beautiful in all aspects and just watching that lava is amazing. And the color truly remarkably awesome too. A scene worthy to watch. Love Nature it is the most beautiful creation of this planet. Thank You God for your divine Creation! 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👏👏👏👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a awesome way to start 2021! :D
With the lava lake level rising and the first vent being submerged under the rising lava, is that causing a pressure buildup behind that vent? If so, where is that magma being directed to? What will happen if/when the second vent is covered/submerged by the rising lava lake? Does the lava keep filling the caldera or does it stop and then go horizontal to the side and create new fissures outside the base? Interesting to see how this plays out.
Bla bla bla bla
@@evilbeast7029 What did he do wrong sir?
@@evilbeast7029 you are a sad person, now go to your corner!
fine questions, but no person on the face of this earth knows.
Good question! With only a small number of lava lakes, in the last 50 years, there is very little documented science to make predictions upon. We have seen this one at Kilauea rise and fall in the past. Other lava lakes, at other active volcanoes have actually disappeared over time. The last time Kilauea developed a lava lake, the level went up and down over time as gas pockets escaped from deeper within the magma column. Any breakdown of the caldera or vent due to seismic activity has the potential to divert the venting in a totally different direction.
Amazing! I would love to see this.
Amazing...just amazing.
Absolutely insane looking!
That gradient printing capability is dope👍🏻
Kool. Deadly Beautiful indeed..An something to watch closely by all..
Great reporting.
Hawaii strutting into the new year with a bang 💥🌋

Volcano slowly erupts:
People: "Where can I get the best view?"
Volcano: "I'm'a go boom stupid."

Fortunately, Kilauea is of a volcano type not prone to violent, explosive eruption (compared, say, to Mt. St. Helens, for example). While there have been spectacular eruptions (the spectacular Kilauea eruption of 1959 was used as footage for many dramatic movies), the threat to human life is minimal with most flows providing plenty of warning, even if property has been destroyed from time to time. =^[.]^=
@@Raycheetah Well, duh! Kilauea is a *tropical* volcano. More laid back. Warm winds, blue ocean, some sticky drinks with an umbrella in it. Helens is near where they invented Starbucks and crimes against good coffee. I'd explode violently, too!
Let it blow!

@@ViewThis.
So agreed with you!
@@ViewThis. prismatic droplets in air: am i a joke to you?
activity began at dec. 21st but ok.
Like what? Speak English boy!
Man, i hear numbers like 7.5 acre island, and 600 some odd feet deep and it just doesn't look like it. I believe it though
Hawaiian realty lists it as a private island surrounded by a lake of lava. There's bound to be an evil emperor willing to place a bid on that!
I couldn't get a proper sense of the size until I finally visited last year. Jaw dropping
0:21 use the helicopter’s shadow as a reference point
Happy New Years 🥳
Peles eye is watching all x
Love it!
Looking like the pits of hell.
It's almost time to leave with our father up in heaven thank you JESUS

Thank you and Happy New Year to everyone!

AloJAH
Solid reporting
HaPpY NEW YEAR ❤ Everyone. Thank you for the update!!! It looks like a big donut 🍩 with orange icing on top...😂🤗
Will be interesting to know what happens once the lake rises to the level of the vent itself. The new lava will need another exit somewhere.
Very pretty!
People are all bringing in the new year and watching fireworks...and since you all celebrate this calendar day as the new year, Happy New Year .....I personally observed the new year in September during Rosh Hashanah and because i dont go by a regular calendar even..... But it is so good to see people celebrate .
I was here 4 years ago...pretty cool place....
How is this already on CZcams. It was just posted today.. !!😮. Happy new year.
Posted today filmed yesterday, reported findings of today included.
The mantle plume is still going strong, I see, after so many millions of years!
Awesome
the fly by video is amazing. now imagine that caldera 16x larger and you have olympus mons.
Would you know if the vent pressure will be sufficient to flow lava once the lava lake overflows the vent?
Throw it in Frodo!
It is but a small lake compared to pre-2018 levels, it will be a while before there is another large flow in the rift zones.
Are there tidal waves related to Kilauea´s activity across the ocean
can't wait to go fishing in that lake
Happy New Years everyone
Is the lava lake now about one mile wide ? Or more
Well done.
So is the most active volcano....slowly not being active anymore?
This gives forged in fire a whole new meaning......I think this was where Excalibur was created.
I feel it's about time we updated our popular frame of reference for volume from _"Olympic-sized Swimming Pools"_ to something a little more contemporary. Any suggestions?
You silver-tongued devil... you had me at Caldera.
wait... that is a computer generated voice over? what software is that?!?!
God bless every body..Stay safe out there..
What's wild to me, is all those old road beds visible right near the caldera. Anyone have sauce for earlier aerial footage?
Are volcanoes connected? Because there’s increasing activity in Martinique and St. Vincent and the Grenadines right now.
No. Volcanoes are not connected. At any given time there are about 20 erupting volcanoes on Earth. Kilauea is no more connected to volcanoes in the Caribbean than to those in Indonesia.
Is this close to Mauna Loa Volcano?
Does this mean that visitors can’t see any molten lava? Just got tickets for the big island (over Maui) specifically for the volcano; leaving in 2 weeks.
This is a classic example of how a news agency takes something small & blasts it out in such a way as to make it seem threatening, as there is a easily accessed live stream that clearly shows the lava lake in question is remaining relatively stable.
How do they calculate the depth of the lava?
Happy new year
What is the height of the top of the crater?
Thanks so much and happy New Year
Will it drain or solidify
Wow!
Thanks, would be helpful to mention metric equivalents, too many to convert
Great work! Thank you.
Would-be great if they would put Some measurements about the size on the video. It looks big but yeah, its from a save distance i imagene
God Bless
🔥
What type of volcano is this ?
BIG BOOM!🌋
The Lord our God is amazing! All glory goes to Him.
What's the composition of that big floating island?
Rock
I think it was originally a water lake and quickly vapourised and must have changed the property of the larva interacting with the superheated steam - maybe creating a porous cooled crust of petrified gas bubble holes or type of volcanic glass, making it a bouyant lava raft, perhaps. I'm just guessing/speculating but it obviously reacted with the water lake it replaced. I'm assuming the island is shifting on the larva lake, like a raft - if I'm correct. It could simply be a thin crust, cooled by the water it superheated and risen by the larva flowing underneath it.
Aloha it looks like it's getting full all the way
