If a volcano erupts and no one sees it.. does that mean it is not happening? Maybe.

I have spent days working to get media and government attention to the fact that there are red-white hot spots shown in a newly uploaded Google Earth image of the Mauna Loa Volcano.

From a list member:

THE BRIGHT RED IS "OXIDIZED CIDER CONES, WHOSE COLORS WERE ENHANCED IN THE SATELLITE PHOTO"

and from Steven Brantley, U.S. Geological Survey:

You are quite mistaken about the interpretation of the image you found through Google Earth. Mauna Loa is not erupting at this time. The most recent eruption of Mauna Loa was March 25 through April 15, 1984. We have been working on Mauna Loa in the past week conducting an annual GPS survey, and no activity of any kind was observed by our field crews, including the crew working this morning.

Fresh lava is not on the surface on the SW rift zone and it is not anomalously hot as you suggest in your email. The "red" material in the image is not lava; the red color is due to oxidized cinder erupted between about 500 and 1,000 years ago.

The red color and the collage of satellite images stitched together with the clouds appearing to extend to the southeast looks like a plume (shape only, not the texture) but they are artifacts of the satellite images.

Mauna Loa is very quiet at this time.

I have looked at images on Google Earth of Mauna Loa several times over the past year or two. About three weeks ago a friend of mine mentioned strange gases, noises and helicopters above the Hawaiian Ocean View Estates (H.O.V.E.) subdivision. I had heard these rumors before, so I spent several hours looking at Google Satellite images of Mauna Loa. I found no unusual buildings or activity on the volcano at any of these times. However, this time it was different.

This week Tuesday, May 6, 2008, a farmer mentioned her Swiss Chard was burned by a mysterious ground hugging milky cloud that moved from above her farm down thru the fields and even thru a small farm building she had. She said the gas did not smell like sulfur.. it had a very bad smell and she knew it was something different. She took samples of the chard that was burned, and swaps off her windows and had them tested by the state of Hawaii. They told her they could not find anything on the samples.

As a gift to her, I printed off an aerial view of her farm in H.O.V.E. and gave it to her. As she left, I closed the browser.. but something red caught my eye, so I decide to check it out later. Back at my desk, and starting on Google Earth at H.O.V.E., I followed up the ridge and realized as I approached the summit of the Volcano that something was much different. Small red hot places doted the landscape. As I zoomed in for a closer look I realized, Google had updated their image and Mauna Loa appeared to be awakening.


LavaStar

As you can see by the images above, these are not fuzzy images. These are very clear images showing what appears to be active lava breaking thru the black crust in multiple places.

To help you understand this all better, click on the link in BOLD below for the full image on google maps ... you can see there is a strange white cloud line on the left side of the image labeled LavaStar. (I have included a far image and a close up of the red LavaStar image above.) Google updated their image at the cloud line shown on this image. The clouds on the right are on the old image part that continues toward the summit and all looks fine. The darker image on the left half of this LavaStar image, is the new updated image.

BE SURE AND < to see the image and scroll out and down along the ridge to see all the areas of bright red on the surface.

Many many people live under this volcano which has erupted 39 times since 1832 according to the USGS. In the past, during some of those eruptions, lava went from vent to ocean in less than 3 hours. People had LESS THAN 3 HOURS to get out of the lava's way.
