US-HAWAII-VOLCANO
This November 17, 2014 aerial image released by the US Geological Survey shows a comparison of a photograph(L) and a thermal image of an Hawai'i Volcano Observatory (HVO) geologist sampling lava from the leading tip of the new breakout that originated near Kahauale?a on the big island of Hawai'i. The recently active, but cooling portions of the flow (red and purple areas in upper left portion of image) have average surface temperatures around 300 C (572 F). The actively flowing area in the center of the photograph that the geologist is sampling from (yellow and white colors) has surface temperatures between 600 and 970 C (1100-1800 F). The lava hidden beneath the crust remains well insulated, and previous studies have shown the lava has temperatures around 1140 C (roughly 2000 F).
