The recent increase in the lava flow to the ocean is creating littoral explosions and a cone. The lava is bursting up in small explosions and piling up lava down wind creating an arc of lava. If it keeps up, an entire cone might form around the spot the lava is hitting the shoreline. This is happening while Kilauea continues to erupt at Halemaumau crater and at Pu’u O’o along the south-east rift zone. Two eruptions at one time is unusal. The production of vog continues at a high level.
