Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Lava Update: 5/27/11
Lava is only present in two lava lakes. The summit lava lake level was stable within 125 m (410 ft) of the Halema`uma`u Crater floor. In the east rift zone, vents within Pu`u `O`o crater fed a lava lake perched in the middle of the crater floor with occasional overflows of the rim.

Lava continued to erupt from an opening well above the south side of the lava lake, forming two cascades that poured back into the lake; by this morning, only the northernmost cascade was active with splashing from where it enters the lake visible in the webcam.

The summit tiltmeter network recorded weak DI inflation. The summit lava lake remained at a stable level deep in the vent inset within the southeastern edge of Halema`uma`u Crater. Lava continued to erupt from an opening well above the south side of the lava lake, forming a cascade as it pours back into the lake.
