Aerial view of a lava lake in Pu’u ’Ō’ō crater, east rift zone of Kīlauea. The crater is about 820 ft (250 m) in diameter. Aerial view of a lava lake atop the Kūpaʻianahā vent on the east rift zone of Kīlauea volcano. Lava lakes are large volumes of molten lava, usually basaltic, contained in a volcanic vent, crater, or broad ...
Lava Lake store and lodge. Lava Lake lies in the Cascade Range about 25 miles (40 km) west-southwest of Bend in the U.S. state of Oregon. [1] It is a close neighbor of Little Lava Lake, [1] from which it is separated by solidified lava. [4] Lava Lake is at an elevation of 4,740 feet (1,440 m) [3] in the Deschutes National Forest. The lake ...
Kīlauea Iki is a pit crater that is next to the main summit caldera of Kīlauea on the island of Hawaiʻi in the Hawaiian Islands. It is known for its eruption in 1959 that started on November 14 and ended on December 20, producing lava fountaining up to 1900 feet and a lava lake in the crater. Today, the surface of the lava lake has cooled ...
Located on Jupiter's moon Io, the lava lake known as Loki Patera is a whopping 127 miles across and spans over 8,300 square miles — meanwhile, Lake Ontario covers just 7,320 mi².
The crater again contained an active lava lake between 2008 and 2018, with the level of the lava usually fluctuating between 20 and 150 meters below Halemaʻumaʻu's crater floor, though at times the lava lake rose high enough to spill onto crater floor. The lava lake drained away in May 2018 as new volcanic vents opened in lower Puna. The ...
Erta Ale is 613 metres (2,011 ft) high, with one or sometimes two active lava lakes at the summit which occasionally overflow on the south side of the volcano. [1] It is notable for holding the longest-existing lava lake, present since at least 1906. [4] Volcanoes with lava lakes are rare: there were only eight in the world reported in 2019. [5]
Mount Nyiragongo (/ ˌnɪərəˈɡɒŋɡoʊ, - ˈɡɔːŋ -/ neer-ə-GONG-go) is an active stratovolcano with an elevation of 3,470 m (11,385 ft) [1] in the Virunga Mountains associated with the Albertine Rift. It is located inside Virunga National Park, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, about 12 km (7.5 mi) north of the town of Goma and ...
Map of temperature and crust age of Loki Patera obtained by the Large Binocular Telescope. Loki Patera / ˈloʊki ˈpætərə / is the largest volcanic depression on Jupiter 's moon Io, 202 kilometres (126 mi) in diameter. [2] It contains an active lava lake, with an episodically overturning crust. [3] The level of activity seen is similar to a ...
