Mahalo for showing us. Nice to have the perspective of what we saw and the formation of that landscape to apply to other lava expanses. I spent quite a bit of time over 2 years in the same area out by the airport harvesting lava rock and trying to visualize what happened. I never thought I had much clue then and I know I will be viewing old lava flows now with a far greater education, understanding what I'm seeing. And far greater appreciation. Thanks for a good deal to you. I think now in fact seeing the cooled lava River/flow in every bit as much awe and animazement as when raging. Fluid Rock is mind-boggling in concept, even more so having actually SEEN it moving fluidly and now having slowed and cooled into rock. Not literally seen of course but you have done a very impressive illustration or approximation of it live. And for all the disadvantages of living with a volcano eruption event there is something truly magnificent about able to literally see it. See it evolve… over seemingly endless days. Wish that I could have. So Mahalo Scott for your having done it for me and WELL DONE!
Vast, desolate, and very humbling. The transformation of once lush, beautiful landscape is simply astounding. The lone tree boldly screams, “life.” Awesome, awesome video!
Lol, how many times have you said, "there's really nothing more to see here...oh wait a minute..." in your videos! That's why I watch, b/c you are just as fascinated as I am with all the little details...awesome job, thanks so much :)
After listening to Charles’ report on Doing Hawaii this morning, I’m grateful you aren’t going any closer. He wasn’t trying to scare us, just read the official report. For novices like me, I didn’t even think that if there is another event, it could actually open in a brand new Fissure! I think these reports are for novices like me. I can see the heat waves. That solitary tree is neat. Lifting us up to see the river bank was interesting. Thank you so much.
Seeing this now, after following your vlog from the beginning, I can't help but be heartbroken for those who lost everything to the lava and those whose homes are now inaccessible. Thank you for sharing your journey throughout this time of this incredible life changing event.
Quite a scene....a new world. It's looking like a canyon of sorts in some spots. Sure a lot of steam (I like the hissing sound of the steam....ASMR). So glad you went out there....thank you.
Love that tree too and the faint pink in the sky with it at end of video. Are some spectacular shots in here of steaming fissures etc. cool to see river banks and yes cold see heap of heat coming up off river
I think director Ridley Scott would be impressed of the footage, it's so foreboding and Alien. Skeletal trees, shimmering heatwaves and steam rising across a weird folded and splintered ruinous landscape, crunchy underfoot. Thank you, all the best and stay safe.
Boy, that necklace of fissures and fumaroles is impressive and humbling! It's certainly easy for me to nderstnd why the USGS and HVO are continuing to advise caution and making no reassuring promises at this time. BUT! If I could be that close to all the recent action I fear my own lifetime fascination and loving embrace of Mother Earth/Pel e's Kali like fire and fury would have me walking shotgun with you out there, too! Scot, you are a moth to flame as am I and I sure appreciate you taking me with you this morning : )
Thank you for your reports. Just suscribed this afternoon and really appreciate your fresh, fascinating photography. So refreshing to see something new instead of laboriously repeated old archived shots. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
That is an eerie stillness there. Thank you for taking this video. I've been watching since day one and have always wondered what it looks like from the ground. How fantastic, yet saddening.
I'm sad for all those that lost their homes but I'm glad no one died. I do worry about future lung issues for all exposed to the air during this. That said, the only good thing to come out of this entire event was getting to meet you Scott. God bless.
Things were really steaming this morning. It was cool how you lifted us up to see down into the river channel without getting perilously close to the edge yourself. Well done and wise! But you kept telling us you were being safe and here's more evidence of that. It was also cool seeing the heat waves. Nice update from there. Mahalo from Marlea in GA.
Good morning Scott. What devastation, Pele has certainly left you something to remember her by. I hope she is now in a more friendly frame of mind. The shimmering waves of heat still radiating from the lava river shows that there is still a long way to go before it can be fully explored and the steam from the vents including Big Daddy is certainly an impressive sight. Thank you so much for giving us such close up views. It's definitely worth your efforts and much appreciated by me.
Ohh Wow! That's just beautiful Scott! I can't thank you enough for going out there and letting us see the dried up river as you say! Lol. No one is showing this stuff like this. I know its probably boring and nothing to you and maybe others, but I think its beautiful and amazing still....Please don't stop showing us videos like this. Maybe no changes but it is really. Its not red, or glowing n moving fast but its still dried up, on top. Thank you once again. You mught need to give Peter a call and check on him....😢 But, for now, Aloha 🙏❤🌴😞😀
Excellent footage, Scott! Hopefully you don't get any trouble from going up there, but Mahalo for showing it to us. Your caution is well-considered in staying back from the edge. Someone posted some drone footage last week of a dried-out side channel, and the edges were littered with collapses, undercuts, and bubbles that could go down at any time.
This looks like a hellish landscape in some post apocalyptic movie Scott. That it is real and we are seeing it with our own eyes just makes it that much worse. That it is black and solid instead of a red liquid is a major relief. I just pray it continues so. Mahalo
WOW...........wow, what else can I say! If not for you, I would not have had this amazing perspective. Yes there are other videos out there but not from same perspective. This is the first close up view of lava bed I’ve seen. Than you, thank you, thank you❣️
This is so amazing!! Thank you for taking us there. Have been viewing some of the may posts. So exciting, scarie, amazing. Am very glad I found apau tours to experience this all.
It's just amazing how deep and wide the channel is now that a good deal of the lave drained away. I thought it was only 10 or so feet deep, but from your video and the USGS you can see that in places it was 15, 20, may in some places 30 feet deep and hundreds of feet wide. Just amazing that so much material was flowing so quickly down the channel. Thanks again. Also love the chats as always and the tours. Special love for Mauna Kea 9200 foot level.
That's really cool, Scott! You're actually up near the edge of the lava river!! Can you believe it? Wow! When you lifted us up to see, I could really see where the edge dipped down to the riverbed. And the river was awesome and so wide! Your camera shows great details in the rocks and shows great definition of the walls and how deep the top of the river is. Remember when the lava was raging and how high it was? It looked as if it would overflow? Well, it did in some areas, but now that it's all dried up, it's amazing that you are standing so close to it! Sorry there's no lava fish for you to catch. Lol Boy, it's just something else. That lone tree still stands as if in victory of surviving. Wouldn't it be neat to fly the American flag from it? I think I like that tree, too. It symbolizes being strong and victorious! Yes, it does. When i lived in Iowa, there was a small town called Lone Tree. A quaint little town. Never saw a tree by itself there, though. This tree just reminded me of my time in Iowa. Anyhoo, there are some pretty colors in the sky. I see blues and lavenders. Very pastel and subtle, but pretty. I'm also loving the billowy clouds of the steam. Thanks, Scott, for trekking out there! Makes me a little nervous, but I know you're very careful. An amazing sight to see! Yes, very surreal. Mahalo! :-)
Minus the activity from 8, it's almost like being on the surface of the moon with the nooks and crannies. Love the picture from the new camera, Scott. Give the boys a scritch for me! Take care!
Aloha Scott! What an amazing and unique view from the dried lava and the steam coming from some of those fissures! Amazing to think how wide that river once was!
Wow, the perspective when you shot from high up down into the riverbed was amazing. It really helps to provide some scale. Thanks for the really unique view!
Hello Scott, Thank you for the update. To see the frozen river (it is not dried out...) is astonishing, because you will get a better impression of its unbelievable size. Greetings from 🇩🇪
Wow, that's what's left of big daddy,,shure don't look like any river bottom I've ever seen,was expecting it would be smoother,looks like a canyon walls and all,what a tourist attraction it could be if fissure 8 goes cold and gone,another park? So surreal ,how'd you get out there so close to the edge,now you made a trail,crunch,crunch,stay safe
Primeval. Good to see that, if it does all start pumping out from there again, there's a substantial height from bank to bed which can contain any new flow, at least in that section. Some were concerned that the banks would be shallow and a resumption would easily overflow.
Finally a video that doesn't have the robot voice well done sir. I say this because all the recommended videos TH-cam offer me on this subject have the dam robot voiceover. So you get a like and a cheeky sub from me.
wow, cankman c, you sure missed lot of great video, excellent moderation no ROBOT, please make time to view his video from the start, you never regret it
Wow what a mess. But beautiful video Scott. Felt like i was standing there.
Mahalo for showing us. Nice to have the perspective of what we saw and the formation of that landscape to apply to other lava expanses.

WELL DONE!
Vast, desolate, and very humbling. The transformation of once lush, beautiful landscape is simply astounding. The lone tree boldly screams, “life.” Awesome, awesome video!
Great video! Did you see any dead lava fish out there ?LOL
I still love how you talk to us like your expecting an answer. Lol
Lol, how many times have you said, "there's really nothing more to see here...oh wait a minute..." in your videos! That's why I watch, b/c you are just as fascinated as I am with all the little details...awesome job, thanks so much :)
It's hard to believe 3 months ago that was streets and houses

Wow, all I can say is holy cows! What a landscape. Mahalo, Scott
The Dragon 🐉 is sleeping
... not dead
Amazing images and feeling
Looks sooo large from where you stand
Seeing this now, after following your vlog from the beginning, I can't help but be heartbroken for those who lost everything to the lava and those whose homes are now inaccessible. Thank you for sharing your journey throughout this time of this incredible life changing event.
Amazing - it changed so quickly ! For the sake of the people of Leilani Estates, I hope it stays 'changed' just like THIS!
Quite a scene....a new world. It's looking like a canyon of sorts in some spots. Sure a lot of steam (I like the hissing sound of the steam....ASMR). So glad you went out there....thank you.
Love that tree too and the faint pink in the sky with it at end of video. Are some spectacular shots in here of steaming fissures etc. cool to see river banks and yes cold see heap of heat coming up off river
Toastie warm has got to be one of the best volcano understatements of all time! Love your videos Scott
Hey Scott Thanks for still doing your Videos! Just enjoy them even morning talks with the boys. Keep up the good work 😚🌺⚘
So many changes in such a relatively short period of time. Thank you Scott for always being our eyes and ears!
Amazing views! Amusing as well, that life - as exemplified by that dang Rooster - goes on..!
I think director Ridley Scott would be impressed of the footage, it's so foreboding and Alien. Skeletal trees, shimmering heatwaves and steam rising across a weird folded and splintered ruinous landscape, crunchy underfoot. Thank you, all the best and stay safe.

Scot, you are a moth to flame as am I and I sure appreciate you taking me with you this morning : )
That was awesome. It’s hard to believe that the channel in front of you was a river of red hot lava only 1-2 weeks ago.
Thank you for your reports. Just suscribed this afternoon and really appreciate your fresh, fascinating photography. So refreshing to see something new instead of laboriously repeated old archived shots. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Stunning.... just stunning! Aloha & Mahalo! 🌺
7:01 that lone albezia tree is a beautiful shot
apauhawaiitours.smugmug.com/Kilauea-eruption-inside-Leilani-Estates/i-nTLf2SV/A
Wow! that is a beautiful picture. Thanks for all the videos (still trying to get thru the whole set). Stay safe and hope you business is going strong.

Wow, spectacular Scott! It looks other worldly. Thanks for all you do. 😁
a stately tree indeed! thanks for showing the depth perspective..looks like another world. and yes could see the heat waves!
Astounding, great perspective of the depth. Thanks heaps Scott, wonderful video.
For the first time i have a sense of the scale of the river. Wow just wow.
Good morning Scott. What devastation, Pele has certainly left you something to remember her by. I hope she is now in a more friendly frame of mind.

Great vid. Thank you so much for giving us a perspective no one else is.
Definitely still hot...plenty of heat waves...thanks for the close-up! (Stay safe!)
Excellent footage, Scott! Hopefully you don't get any trouble from going up there, but Mahalo for showing it to us.
Your caution is well-considered in staying back from the edge. Someone posted some drone footage last week of a dried-out side channel, and the edges were littered with collapses, undercuts, and bubbles that could go down at any time.
Very strong heat waves - great catch.
The heat waves shot was amazing. Thanks.
That's good detail; I wouldn't have thought about the river subsidence being that drastic, up close.. that wasteland is immense!
Wow! Amazing as always Scott!! Hope you and your handsome boys have a great day! Thanks for all you do!!
Thank you, Scott!
Thanks for sharing another great video. The lava river and the lone tree a “survivor “
This looks like a hellish landscape in some post apocalyptic movie Scott. That it is real and we are seeing it with our own eyes just makes it that much worse. That it is black and solid instead of a red liquid is a major relief. I just pray it continues so. Mahalo
Just awesome Scott. Thanks for another insite
INCREDIBLE, can't believe it has stopped flowing and looks like that. Awesome footage. Thanks
Still so amazing how much lava came out of that fissure!! Hope it is done!
Wow!! Thanks for doing this vid! Amazing to see Glad it's stopped
WOW...........wow, what else can I say! If not for you, I would not have had this amazing perspective. Yes there are other videos out there but not from same perspective. This is the first close up view of lava bed I’ve seen. Than you, thank you, thank you❣️
This is so amazing!! Thank you for taking us there. Have been viewing some of the may posts. So exciting, scarie, amazing. Am very glad I found apau tours to experience this all.
Looks more like another planet or something than beautiful, tropical Hawaii. Amazing. Thanks for showing us the river bed.
Hi
What a superb scene and Camera. Awesome .Thanks
You've had a good run with this situation, Scott. Well done!
Thank you for the tour ...👍💜
Truly incredible!!! Can see heat waves & now I'm gonna say...be careful out there! Thanks.
It's amazing that there is still so much steam coming from all the vents.
Wow, that river bed and the embankments are amazing to see.
It has been a wild ride with you the past 3 months.
Great video.
That’s a cool pic of the tree. And your subscribers are amazing! Their continued generosity is awesome 😀
It's just amazing how deep and wide the channel is now that a good deal of the lave drained away. I thought it was only 10 or so feet deep, but from your video and the USGS you can see that in places it was 15, 20, may in some places 30 feet deep and hundreds of feet wide. Just amazing that so much material was flowing so quickly down the channel. Thanks again. Also love the chats as always and the tours. Special love for Mauna Kea 9200 foot level.
Good work Scott... happy to see you still doin' the doo! There will be so many new trails to discover when things cool down a bit more.
That's really cool, Scott! You're actually up near the edge of the lava river!! Can you believe it? Wow! When you lifted us up to see, I could really see where the edge dipped down to the riverbed.

Aloha Scott! What an amazing and unique view from the dried lava and the steam coming from some of those fissures! Amazing to think how wide that river once was!
Wow, the perspective when you shot from high up down into the riverbed was amazing. It really helps to provide some scale.
Thanks for the really unique view!
My heart goes out to you! Looking at this must feel so unreal. The thought that this could start again... Thanks for this video!
a rooster? wonder if it's Rusty...and that was an awesome (and I rarely use that over used word) video!
Great video Scott. Thanks.
So beautiful thanks Scott. I am sure still there's a lot to see
So great, Scott, Thank you!
It would be interesting to see the thermometer readings of the old river area as it cools.
Greetings from San Diego...I hope it stays quiet Scott, but I will miss your updates! This 'lava wasteland' looks otherworldly.
Awesome view of the river, thanks for sharing!
Hello Scott, Thank you for the update. To see the frozen river (it is not dried out...) is astonishing, because you will get a better impression of its unbelievable size. Greetings from 🇩🇪
Impressive ... glad you don't take extreme risk. Appreciate what you do. Thanks!
When you are at the lava river again could you give a lava temperature reading? Thank you.
That was/is spectacular! Probably always will be no matter how many times I see it.
Scott, those are some amazing views; I bet there are going to be heat waves for a while, just unreal to think what was there less than two weeks ago!
Glad to see you are still getting out into the flows. Always enjoy seeing these videos.
What a long strange trip it has been.........
Oh wow!!! That's something you don't see every day. I held my breath! :D That river is amazing! Thank you Scott!
Wow, that's what's left of big daddy,,shure don't look like any river bottom I've ever seen,was expecting it would be smoother,looks like a canyon walls and all,what a tourist attraction it could be if fissure 8 goes cold and gone,another park? So surreal ,how'd you get out there so close to the edge,now you made a trail,crunch,crunch,stay safe
OMG amazing!!!
Wow verry Nice looking.. every green come s back soon
Wow wow wow! That crack in front of you added a little extra...pucker.
Does any of that area resemble lava you could see at HVNP?
Yes. There are so many places inside the park with the exact same features.
Mark Attardo ROFL..... "Pucker"
Another amazing video Scott! It's eerily beautiful but in a sad way and yes it does look like your reporting from the moon! Mahalo Scott.
Primeval.
Good to see that, if it does all start pumping out from there again, there's a substantial height from bank to bed which can contain any new flow, at least in that section. Some were concerned that the banks would be shallow and a resumption would easily overflow.
But very cool vid.. esp the depth perception of the lava river now it's empty.... amazing what mother nature can do!!!!!
At a loss for words
At 10.48. Looks like a pair of eyes in the clouds looking back at you.... with a white triangle nose.. cool
Thank you for all the videos. Nice camera. Great videos and commentary.
WOW, just WOW!!!
So amazing!
Thank you for your terrific videos!
Love them all!
This....is astounding!
back in Toronto they were saying about your town 2 or 3 times. I about lava. Im like wow
Finally a video that doesn't have the robot voice well done sir. I say this because all the recommended videos TH-cam offer me on this subject have the dam robot voiceover. So you get a like and a cheeky sub from me.
wow,
cankman c, you sure missed lot of great video, excellent moderation no ROBOT, please make time to view his video from the start, you never regret it
Check Scott's videos from the beginning, if you haven't already :)
Being lifted is THE BEST! Thank you. 😁
G'day Scott! Lots of steam today:)
immensly impressive ... and with the silence now.
Eerily impressive, great view, thanks! Next time can you turn around to show elevation above the original ground level?
