kilauea lava flowOn November 28 the Kilauea volcano east Lae`apuki lava delta collapsed into the sea producing a huge outpouring of lava and a cloud of steam and other gases. The USGS reports that the cliff edge retreated 50 meters during the collapse and that Kilauea's summit and Pu`u O`o cone on the east rift zone slightly deflated after the event but has been inflating since December 1. The USGS website has a regularly updated photolog with more cool pictures of the delta collapse and subsequent redevelopment. Some of the pictures make for great desktop wallpaper.
