		KÄ«lauea is just the most recent of a long series of volcanoes that created the Hawaiian Archipelago, as the Pacific Plate moved over a more or less fixed hotspot in the earth's mantle (see, however, LoÊ»ihi).
		A topographical summit is a point on a surface which is higher in elevation than all points immediately adjacent to it.
		Be sure to check out the overall status of the Kilauea eruption to provide an overall context for what is happening at the volcano.

	Kilauea, HAWAII (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Kilauea volcano, which overlaps the east flank of the massive Mauna Loa shield volcano, has been Hawaii's most active volcano during historical time.
		Eruptions of Kilauea are prominent in Polynesian legends; written documentation extending back to only 1820 records frequent summit and flank lava flow eruptions that were interspersed with periods of long-term lava lake activity that lasted until 1924 at Halemaumau crater, within the summit caldera.
		The 3 x 5 km caldera was formed in several stages about 1500 years ago and during the 18th century; eruptions have also originated from the lengthy East and SW rift zones, which extend to the sea on both sides of the volcano.

		Kilauea is not exploding now, but it has done so in a small way in the recent past and in a big way during the past hundreds to thousands of years.
		If we are to know the whole gamut of what Kilauea can do, it behooves us to examine its past as carefully as possible.
		So turn the page and perhaps be surprised at the richness of Kilauea's explosive past.

	GeoResources - Geography website
		Kilauea is Hawaii's youngest volcano and one of the world's most active.
		All of Kilauea's eruptions have occurred either in or near its summit crater, or along the east or southwest rift zones which are long cracks in the slopes of the volcano.
		When Kilauea began to form is not known, but estimates vary from 300,000 to 600,000 years ago.

		Pu`u `O`o has a dim glow this morning, and all vents except Beehive and West Gap are visibly incandescent despite mist and fume in the crater.
		Kilauea's summit had pretty flat tilt for the past 24 hours, dipping a little and then regaining itself yesterday.
		This graph shows the radial tilt at Uwekahuna (UWE), on the northwest rim of Kilauea's caldera, and at Pu`u `O`o cone (POC), on the northwest flank of the active vent along the east rift zone, as recorded by continuously operating electronic tiltmeters.

		The temple, the Wahaula Heiau, is a complex of stone platforms situated at a remote area on the southeastern coast of Hawaii Island.
		Kilauea has been erupting almost continuously since January 1983.

		Kilauea volcano, one of Hawaii's most popular tourist attractions, is also, by far, the state's worst air polluter.
		This is 6,000 times the amount emitted by a major industrial polluter on the mainland, making Kilauea the nation's top producer of sulfur dioxide.
		The sulfur dioxide from Kilauea reacts with other chemicals in the air to form a hazy, naturally occurring pollution known locally as "vog," or volcanic smog.

		Water is heated at the lava-entry point and moves outward until the long-shore current carries it south along the coast of Kilauea (away from camera).
		Because the hottest water is along the shoreline (see sketch above), visitors to the Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park are advised by park rangers to stay at least 400 m inland from an active entry point in case a sudden wave surges onto shore.

	Updates on Kilauea Eruptions
		This was the first time since January that surface flows at Kilauea reached the sea; prior to that, episode 55 had been restricted mostly to the area around the Pu`u `O`o cone at elevations over 2000 feet.
		Rather, the lava appeared to have entered the East Rift Zone and caused enhanced activity at the Pu`u `O`o vent (17 km to the east) and an increase in surface flow activity at points between Pu`u `O`o and the coast.
		Today, the Kilauea East Rift Zone is mostly a flat, featureless terrain (excluding a few craters) with only small constructional edifices at old eruptive vents.

		Moderate to strong trade winds carry gases and vog from Kilauea Volcano around the southern tip of the island where the gas tends to accumulate on the leeward or "kona" coast.
		The continuous release of volcanic gases, especially sulfur dioxide, causes rainwater to become acidic downwind of Kilauea's erupting vents.

		But to date there has been little hard scientific evidence that vog is a primary cause of respiratory problems on the Big Island.
