During 27 March-2 April HVO reported that the circulating lava lake periodically rose and fell in the deep pit within Kilauea's Halema'uma'u Crater. The plume from the vent continued to deposit variable amounts of ash, spatter, and Pele's hair onto nearby areas.
Activity has remained essentially unchanged and stable. At the summit, the Halema'uma'u lava lake is very active, and rises and falls during alternating inflation and deflation cycles.

Lava flows continue entering the ocean since November 2012 in multiple points, due to increased pressure on the volcano which is also causing other lava breakouts on the coast and the lava lakes within Pu'u 'Ō'ō & Halema'uma'u craters to rise and potentially spill over.

Earthquakes at Kilauea during 10-11 Jan 2013
A few magnitude 2 quakes have occurred on the upper eastern rift zone during the past 24 hours. Otherwise, the volcano has not shown significant changes; weak lava flows are still entering the ocean at 2 points. This is the latest HVO update summary:

Kilauea volcano's activity has remained stable over the past days. The active lava lake at the summit in Halema'uma'u crater and several vents inside Pu'u O'o crater on the east rift zone are active. Lava flows from the latter are reaching the coastal plain and enter the sea at several locations along a 1 km wide area.
