Beautiful aerial views of the #MaunaLoa eruption by the #USGS Hawaiian #Volcano Observatory are here: https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/news/photo-and-video-chronology-hawaiian-volcano-observatory-november-28-2022. These USGS images are public domain.
On this image 👇🏼 , the erupting fissure with lava fountains is visible to the upper left. From the fissure reddish lava flows downslope.
@RobinLacassin Hello. This picture shows in fact a portion of the initial eruptive fracture cutting the upper South-West flank. Mostly gaz release a a few short lava flows there berfore the magma was drained by the North-East Rift Zone :)
@culturevolcan You're right ! I just realize that the South Pit and the two small rounded craters SW of the main caldera are visible. I was too rapid to legend this photo…
I had to look it twice before being sure :)
Another excellent view of the #MaunaLoa upper northeastern rift zone with the active erupting fissure in the foreground. The summit caldera is in the back.
