Hawaiian Volcano Observatory: “Episode 6 began on January 24 at 11:28 p.m. and ended just over 13 hours later. Lava fountain activity gradually declined throughout the morning of January 25 and fountain-fed lava flows stopped erupting out of the north vent at 12:36 p.m. Lava flows from episode 6 covered nearly half of Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor. A massive overturn of erupted lava started around 1:58 p.m. during drainback into the north vent, and the lava surface level in the center of the crater floor dropped about 1.6 feet (0.5 meters). Spots of orange glow can be seen at night on the crater floor as the lava continues to cool. Strong glow from the north vent indicates that magma remains close to the surface.”
