Kaluapele

On the Island of Hawaiʻi, Kaluapele (the pit of pele or Pele) crowns the summit region of the volcano Kīlauea.

Sunday, January 2, 2022. Gloriously sunny, pausing

 Loving the clear sunny days!  Chilly in the shade, but toasty in sunshine; those of us with preferences for heat are reveling.  Nishime was a hit, shared with several kuʻu hoa.  Aside from the seemingly interminable peeling, cutting, soaking, tying, itʻs easy, as long as get ingredients.  And we ate, and now we rest, as does Pelehonuamea.  Iʻll be holosoloing a short one, headed to a viewfull picnic table in the sun.


Below, this morning at 951, just small kine pele at lower left:


Nosediving Tilt started around 1am, according to HVO.
And slowdown of tremor at 2am-ish...
And because I believe that Before/After images can be instructive, below two are from the KWcam, first 520p yesterday, 


then 948a this morning.  Remember lag-times...Tilt drops, Tremor slows, pele declines, not all in concert, but of course linked somehow, somewhere...


Remember:  White Hot, Purples Cooler.  Hiki?


And I had to put this.  Cirrus on high, cumulus below on far horizon.  Maunaloa looks to be a gentle rise, which it is, but her enormity is...well...voluminously enormous.


The summit of Maunaloa is 13,679 feet above sea level, and info from the HVO website informs:


And weʻll end today with the HVO UPDATE:


Stay tuned... Mask up, etc...You gotta know the drill by now...

As always, with aloha,
