This account has been sharing old videos of the many decades of lava flows on Kilauea. Often that volcano will wake up after only a few months of inactivity when it does go quiet, so it probably won’t be long before they get new footage.
Here’s an incredible lava breakout. A crust of pahoehoe is fractured by the pressure of the lava behind it, and the lava spills out onto the surface. Watch how some of the other still-soft rocks nearby flex downwards as the new lava moves on top of them. Also watch how the videographer slowly retreats…
