Timelapse videos are cool, and especially when they’re of volcanic activity.
The video below shows timelapse footage captured on the Halemaโumaโu crater at the summit of Kฤซlauea, an active shield volcano located on Hawaii’s Big Island. It stands at 4,091 feet above sea level.
USGS: “This timelapse sequence shows activity in Halemaโumaโu, at the summit of Kฤซlauea, from March to August. The video shows the rise of the crater floor due to lava supplied beneath the surface crust, lifting the crater floor in an “endogenous” process. In addition, lava flows erupt sporadically and resurface portions of the crater floor.”
