The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has charted out Kilauea’s hazardous lava flows in the Kapoho, Leilani and Pohoiki areas.
Kilauea’s eruption in the active Lower East Rift Zone has created more than a mile of new land since eruptions began on May 3.
The volatile Hawaii volcano spread over four billion cubic feet of molten rock into the Pacific Ocean, pushing the coastline out south of Cape Kumukahi.
As of Sunday, June 10, three volcanic fissures are still active and spewing molten rock hundreds of feet into the sky.
The USGS warned “vigorous eruptions of lava” are still going off along the fissure system in Leilani Estate.
The agency said: “The three closely spaced lava fountains at Fissure Eight are erupting with maximum heights reaching 150 to 180 feet.
“Lava continues to be fed into the channelized flow trending north and then east to the ocean entry at Kapoho.”
The USGS map below shows an active flow channel extending from Fissure Eight in Leilani is pushing northeast and towards the coastline near Kapoho.

Active ocean entry points along Vacationland are still dropping hot lava into the ocean creating extremely dangerous conditions.
The lava delta is unstable because it is built on unconsolidated lava fragments and sand
The USGS said: “Venturing too close to an ocean entry on land or the ocean exposes you to flying debris from sudden explosive interaction between lava and water.
“Also, the lava delta is unstable because it is built on unconsolidated lava fragments and sand.
“This loose material can easily be eroded away by surf, causing the new land to become unsupported and slide into the sea.”
More than 600 homes have been destroyed by the ongoing eruption since it began last month.

Lava from Fissure Eight has filled out the entirety of Kapoho Bay, converting the area into a barren peninsula of volcanic rock.
The same dangerous lava flows completely evaporated a 200-foot-deep popular swimming spot in Kapoho known as Green Lake.
The USGS warned additional ground cracking and outbreaks of lava around the active fissures are still possible.
Residents living downslope of the fissures have been urged to heed all official warnings and safety announcements.
