Just before the crack of dawn, Kilauea’s “Episode 33” eruptive pulse, which mainly had been pumping out a skyscraper-sized fountain from the northern of two active vents, began pouring lava across the crater floor from the south vent (behind the fountain), in two streams: far left and rightmost. Meanwhile, the fountaining north vent also overflowed at ground level in two directions of its own, seen at near left and near right. Some of the cumulative incandescence, produced at temperatures up to about 2,200°F, reflected off the southwest wall of the crater at right. Meanwhile, even at over a mile away (this being shot with a zoom lens), a tornado-like roar resonated from thousands of glowing-hot rocks and boulders constantly slamming into the surface and colliding with each other in the fountain.
