Not only do we have the new increased lava flow into the ocean happening, but there has been new and unusual activity in the Halema'uma'u crater up in Volcanoes National park.  After the opening of a new, glowing vent in the crater wall several days earlier which began spewing greatly increased levels of Sulfur dioxide gas, a sudden violent ejection of gas occured which shot rocks and debris hundreds of feet into the air and increased the Sulfur Dioxide emissions to even greater concentrations, as much as 10 times normal.
