(BIVN) – The intermittent eruption of lava in Leilani Estates continues.

Activity on Tuesday was focused on the northeast portion of the fissure area, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says. “Two new fissure segments (13 and 14) broke ground between fissures 7 and 6,” scientists wrote late last night. “Fissure 13 cut across Leilani Street. By 5:00 pm, fissures 13 and 14 were inactive; late this evening geologists reported loud jetting and booming sounds, and some spattering, at fissure 13. At about 6:00 p.m. reports of booming sounds were reported in the vicinity of Black Sands Beach Subdivision. When HVO geologists arrived soon after, no such sounds were occurring.”

Earlier this morning, geologists reported the widening of cracks on Highway 130 and Ali’ili road.

“Rates of seismicity changed little throughout the day, but increased during the fissure activity in the afternoon,” USGS said. “Gas emissions remain elevated in the vicinity of fissures.”

USGS also stated:

HVO field crews successfully completed the installation of two new co-located seismometers and GPS receivers on the north and south sides of the East Rift Zone. Mahalo to landowners for allowing access and use of their property. HVO geologists will be in the area overnight to track and report to Hawaii County Civil Defense on the activity, and other scientists are tracking the volcano’s overall activity 24/7 using various monitoring data streams.
