I'd like this in refrigerators, please.
How much #KilaueaEruption #lava since May 3?
113,500,000 cubic meters (4,008,200,000 cubic feet)
OR enough to:
fill 45,400 Olympic-sized pools
cover Manhattan Island 6.5 ft deep
fill 11.3 million average dump trucks
But, it's only 1/2 the amount of 1984 Mauna Loa eruption.pic.twitter.com/HeGEvorAze

@iamseanbrady How deep could it cover McArthur Island Park? -
No time to check if it's wrong, but I think just under 100 McArthur Island Parks if the lava is 2 metres deep.

Curious: is there ever a possibility with high-output fissures like this becoming their own permanent source/flow of lava? IOW, could fissure 8 say, become it’s own volcano or crater?
-
Yes, this is a possibility, and is quite common for these fissure eruptions - activity tends to become focused at one vent. It's the reason there is a

...or just 7% of the 2014-15 fissure eruption at Bárðarbunga in Iceland.
-
That's my kind of comparison. The scientific coverage of Bardabunga was far more advanced than for
#LERZ. There were 3D time-lapse models of every tremor that you could flip and rotate, view from any angle you liked, and watch the lava make its way to the vent.
