Hi YouTubers.
I'm glad you're all here.
Thank you very much for joining me.
They're on the big island of Hawaii.
Mona Loa Summit is closed until further notice.
Today is Saturday, october 8, 2022.
Monolo was put on yellow alert level,
the second lowest of four levels.
Its closure is a precautionary measure, they
say, and it will affect backcountry hikers
who are planning on reaching the summit.
Currently, the Monolo Road and
the Monolo Lookout remain open.
Scientists have observed and elevated earthquake
rates in the past 24 hours.
Yesterday, Friday, October 7, there was 44 earthquakes,
and today they have 20 earthquakes listed within
the last 24 hours, the largest being a
magnitude two six that's over there by Kilowuela,
and also a two six again, Kilowatt there
at Monolo, the largest being a magnitude 2.5.
More recently, there was a magnitude 1.8.
The recent alert was because of
inflation there at the summit.
Here you can see going back until the 8th, so
8 September you can see here it's still climbing.
It was closed yesterday Friday, and they're
saying it's not erupting right now.
There is no signs of imminent eruption at this time.
The current unrest is most likely being
driven by renewed input of magma two
to 5 miles beneath Montelores Summit.
So that is why you'll have earthquakes that are
listed minus for the depth 0.5 miles, because everything's
measured from sea level that's 1.7 that was -1.6
miles concentrations of sulfur dioxide so two hydrogen sulfide
H, two S and carbon dioxide CO2 as well
as Permeal temperatures remain at background levels and stable
at the summit.
Heightened unrest began in mid September of this year.
As the reservoir for the magma expands, it is
triggering small earthquakes directly beneath this one caldera, which
I am not going to try and pronounce in
the region to the northwest of the caldera.
Here we have an image of the east rift zone at night.
You can see how it's blowing over here in this
location, but it's really hard to tell during the daytime.
But it kind of looks a little smoky over here.
There at Kilowuela.
Here we have an image, and the red is active lava Lake.
The letter color is full extent of lava flows.
And another image of Hale Mamu.
And here we have another image now.
This is today at 831.
I don't know if it's universal or local
time, but you can see the red here
and the flows as I've been moving there.
Here we have an image of the current Vlog
volcanic gases there on the Big Island of Hawaii,
and it looks like it's mostly coming from Kilowatt.
So that's all I have for you right now.
