6. Evolution of the Fissure 8 lava flow on Kilauea's Lower East Rift Zone
... Fissure 8 has erupted continuously for two months, with preliminary estimates of dense-rock effusion rate of roughly 50-150 cubic meters per second. The Fissure ...
New eruptive activity began on Kilauea's Lower East Rift Zone on May 3, 2018, initiating the most destructive eruption in Hawai`i's historical record. The initial two weeks of the eruption were dominated by the opening of numerous small fissures, producing spattering and low-volume lava flows. Later fissures in May erupted more fluid lava at higher rates, producing longer, more voluminous lava flows fed by low fountains. The eruption focused at a single vent, Fissure 8, in late May. The flow from this vent traveled 13 km over several days, reaching the coast and forming a sustained ocean entry. As of late July, Fissure 8 has erupted continuously for two months, with preliminary estimates of dense-rock effusion rate of roughly 50-150 cubic meters per second. The Fissure 8 flow has destroyed hundreds of homes, large areas of cropland, and numerous local landmarks.
The sustained nature of the Fissure 8 lava flow has allowed observations and measurements of lava flow activity in unprecedented detail. Flow monitoring was accomplished via airborne thermal mapping, time-lapse camera imagery, lidar surveys, and regular unmanned aerial system (UAS) mapping. The proximal section of the flow consists of a perched channel of pahoehoe lava. The medial portion consists of transitional pahoehoe-`a`a with braided channels. The distal region, near the coast, is composed of a broad fan of `a`a fed via a changing channel system. The distal fan has been the most dynamic portion of the...

Grayspace Fissures are spatial rifts that are found in Vera. They can be interacted with to access the Grayspace in the Vera region. When the Wanderer is at Level 74, the Wanderer can interact with Grayspace Fissures, which will transport them to the Grayspace area, respective of their current location. At least 40% exploration progress in the area a fissure has spawn is required to enter. 6 Grayspace Fissures will appear in different locations in the Vera region every day. Once a Wanderer has e
