For those saying “will this become a volcano?” The answer is no, it won’t. A volcano has a vertical shaft going down into the mantle. The lava leaves the Earth, travels up the shaft and comes out of the top. Fissure 8 has a horizontal flow of lava to it all the way from Kīlauea - which is where the vertical shaft is. It is possible for the shaft from Kīlauea to become blocked. The lava will still go up the horizontal shaft at Kīlauea, but could then find another weak spot in the volcano walls to leak through (just as it flowed out of the weak spot and down the Eastern Rift before breaking through to the surface at Leilani) OR continue until it fills the vertical shaft and comes out the top of the volcano in a “picture book” eruption. Until this I never realised that volcanos don’t always erupt from the volcano itself. I knew that sometimes the lava would come through a side vent but never appreciated that the side event could be below the ground and then run for miles underground which is what is happening here.
Wow. You're one of the handful of people, in all the world, that get to experience this so up close and personal. What a privilege. Not forgetting about all the destruction of your beautiful neighborhood and Puna district. Yes the destruction is awful. But to be in Scotts shoes is simply amazing. I am so thankful he had decided to share this with the world. We wouldn't have seen a tenth of this without you Scott. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is an incredible journey. As soon as I have my coffee, I go straight to the TV to watch your next video. P.s. glad to hear some excitement back in your voice the last few days.
Keep them coming . Many of the others broadcasting this are showing the same videos over and over with different narration yours are always new and because of that I look forward to seeing them
First I thought it was a person in a wrestler stance, then I thought--why aren't they moving??? Till Scott moved towards it, when I finally registered it was a chair. Wearing a cape.
Yep, saw the splash and heard it. Went back for a replay about 10 times. Glad to hear you love the billowing clouds, Clouds have been my main body of work since I was a kid. I have thousands of pics and some videos of clouds. THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO WITH ALL THE SOUND EFFECTS...VERY COOL! STAY SAFE SCOTT!
Keep 'em coming. Once in a lifetime opportunity. I don't care if you zoom or not. I love this stuff, no stupid music, no stupid graphics, no begging for likes or subscribes. After watching your videos I now understand why someone would want to live near an active volcano, and that's because it is a beautiful place and if that is the only location a person can afford then so be it. Just adjust your lifestyle away from material things that could go up in smoke and enjoy the beauty.
The sound of the lava coming out of #8 reminds me of the sound of Niagara Falls when on the Maid of the Mist. I'd love to know how much lava is coming out of the fissure every day. Mahalo again Scott for your videos.
I actually find the videos very relaxing. Realizing you don’t want to focus on the destruction. I just love the color of the lava, the sound of it and the facts that you add to it. Thanks again
Its just amazing to me to see this lave fountain and to hear the power that this thing has. You really bring a different perspective to each of us that see this. I love billowing clouds. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and during thunderstorm season we get to see amazing thunder clouds build and form. Its really cool. I could sit and watch & listen to this spout all day. Thanks again.
You are amazing. Your video's have been a better antidepressant than anything else! I'd love to be there, and do all I can to help you, and the others of Leilani, and the rest of Hawaii Island!
Awesome video Scott. Glad to see someone has the balls to get up close with this. Looks safe enough to me from that distance, despite what some have said. It's a fairly predictable flow with few scary bits, so as long as you've got a quick escape route then it seems to me you could get into this position a lot. I think this is one of your best close up bits of footage yet. Please keep em comin! Its very difficult to find reliable 'on-the-spot' footage that is not over-embellished with hysterical commentary. Hope you can continue to escape the authorities notice! :o)
Mahalo, David. I wish everyone would feel the same way you do. Really, the only danger I'm in is getting a little boo boo if I walk on a piece a lava that cracks. When that happens, my foot may go into a little hole and get scratched. Happened yesterday...no biggy.
Thats a great location. I would love someone to set up a live cam from there, or at least film several hours of action each day and upload it. Where else in the world can you get such amazing footage? Nowhere. I'd have dragged that lawnchair closer and sat down for a while and just watched mesmerised. Great stuff Scott. Take care out there.
It's amazing the color and shape changes in the fountain; mindbending to think about how much lava the fountain has/is putting out; I think, "Where does it all come from??!"...like trying to imagine the ocean. 😊 So captivating....🌸Mahalo
That is just wild looking. I know the video like most video does not even do it justice. I could imagine the sounds and smells and vibration has got to be intense to experience. Stay safe brother.
Good work as usual. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I watch them every night right after the 11pm news. You’ve got me hooked. Like your work and volcanoes. 👍🏼👍🏼🤙🤙
Wow that is like a new layer of soil being formed from the Tephra fallout! IT SHOWED AND I HEARD IT @2:22! Impeccable timing Mr.Scott to capture that! Great Job! And the billowing looks like a thunderstorm growing! Thank you for bringing us this jaw dropping footage!
I’ve tried to see most of your videos. I think you are getting a little to close each time. You are getting to comfortable with the situation 😀 I must say I’d probably do the same. I could watch it all day. Thanks for what you are doing.
That is amazing... the stories you can tell your grand kids and have the video's to prove you were there. Thanks for sharing with us. Greetings from Australia.
Great vantage point for Big Daddy...probably your best one yet. Now here's a spot where you could just set the camera up and take a nice, long look at the fissure spewing its magnificence -- with minimal narration, no camera wobble, no phone ringing, and no need to mess up the shot with the heater meter (because we already know the lava is 2000 degrees, right?)
Hiya Scott thanks for taking us on a up date tour around the change in the place is devastating yet amazing recreation at the same time Wow incredibly videos thanks for sharing your life with us from Sadie~marie and the furrys P.s have a fab Saturday Scott
How are things over at the big island? It is amazing that from a crack in the street or backyard of a property, a lava fontain pops up creating a new cone or crater in this short timelapse (a month or not even that long!). Courage from Belgian living in Spain to all Hawaiians! May God bless you and give you all the strength to start all over again from scratch and that you might get all the help needed from whoever it might come.
Hello Scott, I am catching up on your videos of Hawaii and I wondered if you had seen the tornado or the video of it? Love the new gadgets your using they now gives us more of an idea what it is like there. And it is a visual record of the History of Hawaii. Aloha💕
Number 8 is not a fissure anymore. Number 8 made his own volcano. Actually, through your videos we witness the birth of a new volcano. And thats not seen very often. It might even put you in the Hawaiian history books.
Thanks again Scott for another incredible video. It appears that the steam from #8 has grossly increased!?? Is this something that happens with aging of a fissure or have the winds dispersed the steam all this time??? Stay safe 🌺
Pele putting on quite a show but how many goddesses create and destroy at the same time? People who have lost their homes can find some comfort in the thought of possible future generations living where the lava river once flowed. It is awesome and very humbling.

Oh... it's Alison's painting, love it. That chair, lol. I don't recall hearing a lava splat like that in any other footage I've seen anywhere, amazing, wow.
its incredible to see how different volcano's are. the one in Hawaii slow moving with many fissures opening gave people time to move out, but the one in Guatemala my Lord it came over them so fast like hot burning ash and consumed so many lives, whole families buried like in Pompeii. its heart breaking. The line of fire has awaken.
I just can NOT get enough of that fountain! Absolutely gorgeous! I HATE that I couldn't go there and see this in person when it was happening! Now it could be at least a decade before the system reactivates. :(
*_Lavarific!_* or *_Magma-nificent!_* ~ Awesome stuff Scott,thank you! *James* 6/9/2018 12:26am P.S. I seen & heard the splash. Plus, that heat is making the light tephra flow high into the sky and falls with the wind. (One fo your videos you could see the heat waves making tephra float real high) Any road, awesome stuff. Very sad for those that have lost though.
All homeowners still own the land that is being covered by lava. They can do whatever they want with it. When this thing ends, I assume some will actually build on top of the lava like in Kalapana.

I forgot about this one too.
ApauHawaiiTours How could you forget This one!
The billowing into the sky is incredible to see. Appreciate that footage. 🍍
ApauHawaiiTours ah wondered what was going on lol
Shit friggin great stuff man!
What is the lava doing now? Is it just flowing into the ocean or is it still threatening homes? Great videos Scott!
Glad you remembered. One of your best!!! Simply Awesome!

PS I am in South Carolina
We've been watching your videos of #8 for days and days and it's still totally mesmerizing. Thanks.
Dude... your videos are blowing my mind. Thanks
The chair makes it look surreal. Like a Dali
First I thought it was a person in a wrestler stance, then I thought--why aren't they moving??? Till Scott moved towards it, when I finally registered it was a chair. Wearing a cape.
Just about as weird as the chair found deep in the bottom of the ocean.
They are just begging to be sat on.

Well said
Incredible! Love the low-key, matter-of-fact attitude about it all. Uhhh...loha!
I'm so happy I found your channel. Can't get enough. More! More! 😊
The lava splat! 🌋 Heard it clearly had to go back to see it😉
Amazing stuff today Scott and I love the billowing too! Mahalo.
Ok there has to be a story with that chair lol. Every time you go there it's in a different position
I love this kind of video, I coul'd watch it for hours
Love the clouds. Gotta say that's a little closer then usual. Wow amazing. Please stay safe.
Wow amazing, love the cloud views.Thank you, stay safe.
The sound of the lava coming out of #8 reminds me of the sound of Niagara Falls when on the Maid of the Mist. I'd love to know how much lava is coming out of the fissure every day. Mahalo again Scott for your videos.
Mel , the sound of lava reminds me hurricane Irma landing in Miami..
That would be a creepy/scary sound.
USGS should hire you for up close in depth coverage as it's awesome. good work and great to follow
Wow you could just stand there all day watching it, just bloody amazing mate
That looks amazing with black cloud behind it
I actually find the videos very relaxing.
Realizing you don’t want to focus on the destruction. I just love the color of the lava, the sound of it and the facts that you add to it.
Thanks again
Love your enthusiasm, love your videos, thank you Scott
This was one of your most exciting videos yet. I really loved your enthusiasm.
Keep the video s coming because the news is not showing how bad it is. Stay safe out there🤙
great job on covering this today. The billowing steam was incredible
Its just amazing to me to see this lave fountain and to hear the power that this thing has. You really bring a different perspective to each of us that see this. I love billowing clouds. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and during thunderstorm season we get to see amazing thunder clouds build and form. Its really cool. I could sit and watch & listen to this spout all day. Thanks again.
Thank you for your daily broadcasts as the news says nothing here (Australia) and I find your information fascinating and enjoyable.
Saw the splash and heard it too! Another interesting video. Thanks!
Superb! Thank you for sharing. I really think you should be making some money from this with adverts.
parajacks4 Hopefully, by the end of the month. TH-cam is evidently backed up til then for monetizing new channels. 😒
Stunned by this view and especially the splat! I've re watched it a lot already! MAHALO
You are amazing. Your video's have been a better antidepressant than anything else!
I'd love to be there, and do all I can to help you, and the others of Leilani, and the rest of Hawaii Island!
www.catholiccharitieshawaii.org/
Love your excitement and awe! It's contagious!
This is the best video of the fountain ive seen, with the sound. Its just like being there!!!
Awesome video Scott. Glad to see someone has the balls to get up close with this. Looks safe enough to me from that distance, despite what some have said.

Just fantastic filming. Thank you.

IT SHOWED AND I HEARD IT @2:22! Impeccable timing Mr.Scott to capture that! Great Job! And the billowing looks like a thunderstorm growing! Thank you for bringing us this jaw dropping footage!
My gosh how did people walk in the vicinity of lava flows and eruptions before modern shoe technology?
The illusion it gives that it’s slowing down yet it’s just that cone around it has grown so much that it’s almost as tall as the fountain itself.
Ha! I totally thought that chair was someone else! 😆 another wicked video! 🌺
Good Morning! Oh my Lord, it really does look like the making of a new volcano. Yeah, I heard that splat. HaHa. :)) I like that you are curious. :))
I’ve tried to see most of your videos. I think you are getting a little to close each time. You are getting to comfortable with the situation 😀 I must say I’d probably do the same. I could watch it all day. Thanks for what you are doing.
That is amazing... the stories you can tell your grand kids and have the video's to prove you were there. Thanks for sharing with us.
Greetings from Australia.
Saw it and heard it - very impressive!
Find your walks interesting and informative.
Look at the power it's amazing
This is always fascinating and beautiful to watch... the colors and the cascading of the lava.. thanks Scott
Revisiting your videos. Mother Nature at her most fascinating. You did one heck of a good job in reporting this feat of wonder. Thank you.
The white plastic chair in front of the dark lava, something poetic in that. 😊
Great vantage point for Big Daddy...probably your best one yet. Now here's a spot where you could just set the camera up and take a nice, long look at the fissure spewing its magnificence -- with minimal narration, no camera wobble, no phone ringing, and no need to mess up the shot with the heater meter (because we already know the lava is 2000 degrees, right?)
Hey Scott ☺️ you were reading my thoughts and telling the distance 😂 Mahalo and ALOHA from Bavaria
Fascinating, thank you for posting!
This is excellent cinematography!
Mother Nature in the rawest form - thanks for being so brave - be careful and look forward to more...........
Thanks for the Impression, unbeliveble Pictures , thank you very much
This is so Epic Scott!
This is so incredible! I feel beyond blessed and fortunate for having been there - so special!
@ 2:20 Splash + Noise confirmed, your footage keeps getting better. Keep the updates (not the fissures) flowing :D
Hiya Scott thanks for taking us on a up date tour around the change in the place is devastating yet amazing recreation at the same time Wow incredibly videos thanks for sharing your life with us from Sadie~marie and the furrys P.s have a fab Saturday Scott
Easy meter conversion: one meter equals 1.1 yards. 35 meters is 38.5 yards or 115 feet.
You found a way back to the action. Yay!!
So many adjectives to use !!! I'm awestruck!!!
By the way, thank you for including the date in the title.
I have watched this one over and over! Seeing and hearing the laws go over the side was awesome. I wish I could do a slow motion.
How are things over at the big island?
It is amazing that from a crack in the street or backyard of a property, a lava fontain pops up creating a new cone or crater in this short timelapse (a month or not even that long!). Courage from Belgian living in Spain to all Hawaiians!

Love the video as usual, Looks like figure 8's little buddy plume is gone.
All I can say is wow

Been noticing the splashes for a while & wondering what they sound like. Thanks.
Me too! I think this is the first time I've heard it.
Phenomenal footage!!!
Thanks again Scott for another incredible video. It appears that the steam from #8 has grossly increased!?? Is this something that happens with aging of a fissure or have the winds dispersed the steam all this time???
Stay safe 🌺
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video footage. Would otherwise never see this. THANK YOU! PS...you are one brave soul
Pele putting on quite a show but how many goddesses create and destroy at the same time? People who have lost their homes can find some comfort in the thought of possible future generations living where the lava river once flowed. It is awesome and very humbling.
Best one yet:)
Thank you Scott
The new cone being made is amazing.
Great video, keep them coming
that's a new volcano...what do you think
Might end up similar to what Green Lake was. It will be a landmark by the time it's finished
Not a new volcano it is a vent of Kīlauea.
No its not a new volcano.
Ktilqr Pk
For those saying “will this become a volcano?” The answer is no, it won’t.
A volcano has a vertical shaft going down into the mantle. The lava leaves the Earth, travels up the shaft and comes out of the top.
Fissure 8 has a horizontal flow of lava to it all the way from Kīlauea - which is where the vertical shaft is.
It is possible for the shaft from Kīlauea to become blocked. The lava will still go up the horizontal shaft at Kīlauea, but could then find another weak spot in the volcano walls to leak through (just as it flowed out of the weak spot and down the Eastern Rift before breaking through to the surface at Leilani) OR continue until it fills the vertical shaft and comes out the top of the volcano in a “picture book” eruption.
Until this I never realised that volcanos don’t always erupt from the volcano itself. I knew that sometimes the lava would come through a side vent but never appreciated that the side event could be below the ground and then run for miles underground which is what is happening here.
ApauHawaiiTours thank you so much... i love ur vids.... watch them always.... i trust ur work... hugs be safe...
Oh... it's Alison's painting, love it. That chair, lol. I don't recall hearing a lava splat like that in any other footage I've seen anywhere, amazing, wow.

(One fo your videos you could see the heat waves making tephra float real high)
Any road, awesome stuff.
Very sad for those that have lost though.
I like to see billowing too! Blessings, Scott.
Exclusiv openair cinema with one chair only! Great idea! Where can I get a ticket? :-)) be safe. greetings from Germany.
Torsten Hokamp Laugh out loud
Truly awesome.
Fantastic!
Scott can you explain how the State land exchange works? Does Bill, for instance still own his chunk of the lava flow ?
All homeowners still own the land that is being covered by lava. They can do whatever they want with it. When this thing ends, I assume some will actually build on top of the lava like in Kalapana.
Thank you. One broadcast spoke of some kind of Land exchange- just wondered.
