Today (August 6) started early for Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists. Vigorous lava fountaining associated with episode 30 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption of Kīlauea volcano, Hawaii, began at 1:20 a.m. local time, and HVO geologists were immediately on site to collect data. Once the day dawned, the work included a helicopter trip to the caldera floor to sample lava for chemical analysis. That information can be used to better understand the conditions in the magma chamber, and therefo
