The 2018 lower Puna eruption was a volcanic event on the island of Hawaiʻi, on Kīlauea volcano's East Rift Zone that began on May 3, 2018. It is related to the larger eruption of Kīlauea that began on January 3, 1983, though some volcanologists and USGS scientists have discussed whether to classify it as a new eruption. [2]
In December 2014, a sustained lava breakout from this lava flow (informally named the "June 27 flow" by Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists) [13] threatened to enter the town of Pāhoa, and to cut Highway 130, the only route into and out of Lower Puna. As a result, work was begun to reopen Chain of Craters Road, initially as a one-lane ...
The lava flow stopped just short of the village of Pahoa. In 2016 a new flow (called Episode 61G by the United States Geological Survey) emerged from Puʻu ʻŌʻō in a southerly direction, the shortest way to the ocean, across an area that had been covered in lava during the preceding decades. The emergency road connecting Hwy 130 to the ...
Kīlauea is one of the Earth's most active volcanoes, with the January 2006 eruption being the longest rift zone eruption in Kīlauea's 200-year recorded history (Volcanology, 2007). The volcanic soils underlying Pāhoa are considered to have been generated by lava flows within the last 125 to 500 years.

The PGV team had spoken with scientists in Iceland who have operated wells within lava fields and provided insights into how lava might affect the wellhead. [28]: 8:03–9:26 Lava approached several of the capped wells on May 27. [2] Capped KS-5 and KS-6 wells were inundated by the lava from fissures 7 and 21 on May 27 and 28.

On June 1, the lava flow front entered Kapoho on top of the 1960 flow and then took a turn to the south. [8] On June 2, 2018, the Green Lake (Ka Wai o Pele) was destroyed when lava flows boiled it away and completely filled the entire basin. [9] [10] [11] The flow entered the ocean at Kapoho Bay on June 4 [12] on a half-mile-wide (800 m) front.
