[00:00:28]Shark Aloha, Riley. Can you hear me?

[00:00:51]I have I have the fuzzy mic on today.

[00:00:55]Aloha Cindy.

[00:00:58]Testing one, two, three.

[00:01:03]Aloha Lisa.

[00:01:16]Good morning, Dana. Thanks for letting me know, Lisa.

[00:01:21]I'm up at Bua Kahuna.

[00:01:28]Hello from the Philippines.

[00:01:32]Happy on the scope right now.

[00:01:35]Um, check that out.

[00:01:58]man. Okay, I got to take you off. This is pretty cool to see.

[00:02:05]Uhoh. See how this is going to work.

[00:02:10]Oh.

[00:02:15]Look at that.

[00:02:24]It's a little breezy up here today.

[00:02:34]Okay.

[00:02:36]Um, I did the Killway Eeki hike this morning. Made a video. I'll post it. Um, it'll probably go up tonight or tomorrow. But when I was walking along there, I looked at the south vent and I cannot believe how close it is to the rim of the crater right there.

[00:03:00]Does anyone know? Good morning, Carla.

[00:03:04]How far down it is?

[00:03:07]If that's been a thing yet.

[00:03:21]Uh, sorry I can't address a lot of you by name because just because the way it's showing up on my screen.

[00:03:40]How can I get this to not move?

[00:03:48]I should have brought my umbrella.

[00:03:50]Aloha, William. Maybe I will go get the umbrella or Kim's tent.

[00:04:23]We're just uh waiting for episode 48 to begin.

[00:04:28]It's taking much longer than I expected.

[00:04:37]Oh, I did feel the quake. It was awesome.

[00:04:46]I was laying in bed and I just happened to wake up and roll over when it started and I got this big huge smile on my face and just enjoyed it.

[00:05:00]It felt like it was on a raft in the ocean.

[00:05:04]Good morning, Janette.

[00:05:22]Okay, I have you on the fuzzy mic this morning because it's so windy.

[00:05:31]Look at all that fog.

[00:05:48]There's beautiful Mount Aloa.

[00:05:55]Somebody stretching their leg.

[00:06:01]Hey, Jazz.

[00:06:08]I had a fun tour with Lenny Hall and his wife.

[00:06:20]And yesterday I had a tour with a family from UK and the guy was hilarious.

[00:06:28]He was he was just like I am sometimes saying wow all the time.

[00:06:37]Wow. Wow.

[00:06:40]That was so much fun.

[00:06:54]Man, that red on the or the orange on the hill is pretty impressive.

[00:07:04]Look at that.

[00:07:06]Oops.

[00:07:12]Yeah, look at that.

[00:07:23]Man, that really is amazing.

[00:07:26]Somebody take a screenshot.

[00:07:54]And wow, check out the Oops.

[00:07:58]Check out the amount of smoke coming from south. What about it?

[00:08:05]And that's north. North and south right there.

[00:08:20]Has there been any spattering from north recently?

[00:08:29]That's the north vent right there.

[00:08:33]Would that be cool if we saw it spatter a little bit?

[00:08:50]The red is iron oxide. I think.

[00:09:05]Oh, you've seen it spatter occasionally, Dana. Cool.

[00:09:10]Cool. Riley saw some.

[00:09:17]Is today the day?

[00:09:21]Good morning, John.

[00:09:25]I think I need to go get the umbrella.

[00:09:30]Don't want to.

[00:09:39]Uh, I'm not going to.

[00:09:44]Wow.

[00:09:51]Look at that.

[00:09:59]Let's see if we can zoom in on that a little bit.

[00:10:17]There veto.

[00:10:37]Nothing's going on with the boat ramp.

[00:10:39]They cleared it once and within a few hours it was closed up again.

[00:10:48]So that's that. And they're redoing Piki Road. So that should be done shortly.

[00:11:23]The red is iron oxide. I I believe, John, ain't that amazing?

[00:11:40]Yeah, that was a waste of millions and millions of dollars.

[00:11:50]Very dumb.

[00:12:05]I don't know if you heard Veto, but I sold my lava lots down there.

[00:12:11]Brandon, Aloha, you ready for 48, Brandon?

[00:12:46]We've all been ready. We've been ready since Monday and it's already Thursday.

[00:12:52]>> Wait, we were ready Sunday.

[00:12:56]I sold my lava lots.

[00:13:28]What? Welcome everyone.

[00:13:30]We're hanging out at the summit of Kilawea. Waiting and waiting.

[00:13:54]Um, what's inflation doing anyone?

[00:14:00]Is it on the uptick?

[00:14:07]We do wait a lot.

[00:14:23]Aloha Big Island bomb. Aloha, Robert.

[00:14:26]Yeah, Robert, check these out.

[00:14:29]Look at that.

[00:14:35]Inflation is up again. Thanks for that, Deborah.

[00:14:49]Yeah, that earthquake was very exciting.

[00:14:56]Very exciting.

[00:15:00]And it wasn't a just a shake. It It lasted for like 30 seconds or so.

[00:15:17]>> Sulfur turns red when close to molten temps. Huh. Thanks for that gold magnet.

[00:15:33]Okay. So, what gold magnet said makes sense. So, that's not iron oxide, but that is I believe the uh the more orang-ish color right there. Yeah.

[00:16:05]The Quake Big Island Bomb just got back from Banup National Park in Alberta, Canada.

[00:16:14]He highly recommends it.

[00:16:21]Uh, no. Veto, it was not as bad. It was a 6.0. The one you felt was a 6.9.

[00:16:30]Aloha, Medits.

[00:16:40]Okay, let's go back to the red hatches so we can see that there's that. And that makes sense because we had that in Leilani Estates also around um Fiser 24.

[00:16:59]See you Brad. Thanks for stopping by.

[00:17:21]And look at those fractures in the ground right here.

[00:17:43]The yellow is sulfur.

[00:18:19]That's pretty cool, too. The whole thing is amazing.

[00:18:25]Okay, for the moment, we are the only ones here now.

[00:18:50]Man, what a beautiful day on the big island of Hawaii.

[00:18:55]Oh, something caught my eye over here.

[00:19:04]Okay, that white thing in the middle of the screen. What is that?

[00:19:14]Oh, it's some instruments.

[00:19:23]Let's see if I can block the wind with my jacket.

[00:19:31]Oh, that made it worse.

[00:19:34]Cool.

[00:19:37]I can go in a little bit more. Oh, that's as close as I can go.

[00:19:48]Oh, I see I see another something.

[00:19:52]See?

[00:19:53]>> Morning.

[00:19:54]>> Morning.

[00:19:55]Is that there is another instrument I think.

[00:20:03]Yeah, right there.

[00:20:06]Look at that.

[00:20:11]Brendan, you you need to take a trip out here.

[00:20:28]And then the V1 camera is right there.

[00:20:41]One of those Are there more instruments than there were a few years ago? I have no idea.

[00:21:04]I would assume so because of all the activity, but where that instrument is right there.

[00:21:25]I think to the left of that mound is where it erupted in July of 2023 or 2024. Just spotted another one. Maybe that's a tree right there by the cloud.

[00:21:50]Oh, boy. They got instruments out there all over the place.

[00:22:01]Yeah, it's a little pricey coming out here, I guess. Or is that a tree? I think that's a tree.

[00:22:08]That's an instrument, though.

[00:22:12]Okay.

[00:22:15]Aloha, Captain Bill.

[00:22:20]I'm using a 12x 56 scope.

[00:22:24]I'll show it to you.

[00:22:27]Oops.

[00:22:32]That's what I'm using. That's the brand name.

[00:22:35]Focus. Come on.

[00:22:42]And see if you can read that.

[00:22:52]if you get one.

[00:22:54]Um, don't chance on the brand.

[00:22:59]That's my advice.

[00:23:05]Captain Bill, how's the bug over there?

[00:23:07]Do you have any?

[00:23:32]>> Hi, Ellen.

[00:23:36]Nice and clear this morning in Ocean View.

[00:23:49]Oh, look at that pillow.

[00:24:05]Oh, thanks Brandon.

[00:24:14]Look at that.

[00:24:17]Beautiful.

[00:24:23]I appreciate that.

[00:24:29]John, aloha from England, Kim.

[00:24:45]Aloha. Did you find cheese sticks?

[00:25:03]Drats.

[00:25:06]By the way, if it sounds funny, I'm I have the fuzzy mic on today because it's very windy up here.

[00:25:20]There's some bog on the coast close to Captain Cook, says Bill.

[00:25:36]>> Oh man, what did I do?

[00:25:53]Okay, I got to reset my something's going on here.

[00:26:01]Okay, a helicopter has arrived.

[00:26:09]Let's see. It is probably 65 right now where I am. I'm at UK.

[00:26:23]You coming up.

[00:26:34]Oh, that's cool, Brandon.

[00:26:38]Glad you can go back and enjoy those 2018 videos. It was amazing, wasn't it?

[00:26:45]Hi, John.

[00:26:53]I know it was supposed to happen Sunday.

[00:27:04]Can you guys believe that it has been what's it been?

[00:27:09]Eight years already. 8 years.

[00:27:14]Well, it is warmer where you are, John.

[00:27:24]Let's take a look at the greater floor.

[00:27:34]you guys.

[00:27:39]Oh, cool, cool, cool, cool.

[00:27:47]>> Do you guys see what I see?

[00:27:52]>> Look at that line of steam right there.

[00:28:03]Oh, Lenny.

[00:28:05]Should be a great day.

[00:28:13]Prescott Henry.

[00:28:31]Yeah, the Catera is really filling. But look at this, you guys.

[00:28:37]Let's see here. Where's my little pointer thing?

[00:28:42]That's the collapsed road kind of.

[00:28:48]It's touching the the uh Lenny, if you're still watching, this is for you. It's touching right there.

[00:29:03]Wow.

[00:29:06]I mean, that's that's almost covering or it will.

[00:29:16]Wow.

[00:29:18]Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Just saw something. There's no way there's an instrument down there. No way. Let's go on scope and investigate.

[00:29:34]No way.

[00:29:49]What was I looking at?

[00:29:54]I was looking at that. Nope. It's just a rock, I think.

[00:30:03]Yeah, that's got to be a rock. There's no way they would have put an instrument right there.

[00:30:08]Hey, Hugh.

[00:30:17]Less than 300 ft to the upper rim from the top of North Vent. Amazing.

[00:30:24]North Vent is that one right there.

[00:30:29]South Vent is a little higher.

[00:30:37]Oh, I'm just dying to see a little spatter.

[00:30:54]Yeah, right, Brandon. That down drop block was 1,400 to,600 ft above the bottom of the 2018 collapse pit.

[00:31:05]Crazy.

[00:31:08]Aloha Jim.

[00:31:11]Wow, look at the smoke.

[00:31:25]Oh, check it out, you guys. Let's see here.

[00:31:30]I hope you're not getting dizzy, but check out those two beds on the crater floor.

[00:31:36]Oops. Oh boy.

[00:31:42]Three.

[00:31:52]Cool.

[00:32:12]Prescott Henry, thanks for watching.

[00:32:18]Yes, I'm sure. Also, Janette, the scientist would love to have an instrument there.

[00:32:24]Um, here's something interesting too over here. Sorry about all the movement, but this is cool. Look at those couple vents right there. And there's some sulfur, I think. very little. But and I I think lava was shooting out of that one during one of the episodes very early on cuz I remember thinking that it was close to the the collapsed road.

[00:33:11]Cool. Brandon. Brandon grew up watching the Pu O eruption.

[00:33:17]How cool is that?

[00:33:21]Yeah, John. Isn't it amazing that going on a year and a half now?

[00:33:32]Right there has been where all the lava's been coming out of the ground north and south.

[00:33:40]Come on. Just a bit. Just a little bit.

[00:33:52]That was a one day fisher that crawled up the wall. Yeah. Let's go back and look at that one day fisher that crawled up the wall.

[00:34:03]Isn't that amazing?

[00:34:08]We have looks like well sounds like we have two two helicopters from visitors enjoying the view.

[00:34:56]Yep. Well said, Brandon.

[00:35:00]Watching all the changes at the summit is amazing.

[00:35:05]Tens to hundreds of thousands of years of geological change in only six years.

[00:35:10]Yep.

[00:35:12]Well said and amazing.

[00:35:16]Cool.

[00:35:28]Prescott, you would watch the early morning walks with the boys and heard the transition from frog to bird calls.

[00:35:38]Lots of memories for sure.

[00:35:56]Aloha, Andre.

[00:36:00]Do something to make it erupt, would you?

[00:36:13]Yeah, Carla the Pitbull puppy house.

[00:36:20]They have since moved.

[00:36:24]Oh my goodness.

[00:36:43]Hello Deafany and the pig house and the dog house house.

[00:36:52]This is where we are. Deafany and the blowtorrch house. That was my scariest.

[00:37:09]This is where Jagger Museum used to be.

[00:37:15]Okay.

[00:37:18]Go on here for a little while.

[00:37:24]Man, the cookie calls are loud.

[00:37:39]Oh, Andre's got a new internet connection. Glass fiber.

[00:37:50]How wide would I estimate one of the cracks on the left to be?

[00:37:56]H.

[00:37:58]Let's go back on scope and take a look.

[00:38:00]Scott, let's investigate.

[00:38:10]You talking about that one?

[00:38:14]See if I can focus it a little bit better.

[00:38:21]Let's see. We're about a mile away from that.

[00:38:30]Barry, I have the cover in the bed of my truck waiting for it to be used.

[00:38:47]Andre thinks 10 mters.

[00:38:50]Uh boy, that's I wouldn't say I don't know. I just I simply don't know.

[00:39:00]I mean, the one on top, yes, definitely.

[00:39:03]But this one right here, that might be 3 m is what my guess would be.

[00:39:22]Yes, Scott, those colors are amazing.

[00:39:28]Thanks for that link, Dana. Thank you so much, you guys.

[00:39:32]If you want to find out what the blowtorrch house is all about, click on that link that Dana just posted.

[00:39:39]It was the most scary video that I have made for me personally.

[00:40:12]Yep. I've had cookies um cause my ears to ring on a few occasions.

[00:40:21]I like catching them on the glass on the window. They're almost translucent.

[00:41:11]Yeah, cookies are about the size of a quarter.

[00:41:19]Okay, let's go back over here and I'm going to say my goodbyes.

[00:41:25]Thank you all for tuning in.

[00:41:33]Keep watching for episode 48 any day now.

[00:41:55]and check out Lava Watchers um YouTube channel for live 247 monitoring.

[00:42:07]Dan, if you could put a link in here, that would be appreciated.

[00:42:29]Thank you and Andre for that. Check out Lava Watchers YouTube channel.

[00:42:38]Aloha.
