During 27 June-2 July, views of Kilauea's Pu'u 'O'o crater were obscured by steam. Active lava was not visible anywhere on the flow field or at the site of the 18-19 June eruption.

INSIVUMEH reported that on 27 June, a new 100-m-long lava flow from Fuego was observed that somewhat paralleled the previous flow from March/April 2007. The older lava flow on the S flank continued to advance and produce incandescent blocks that rolled W into the Taniluyá River valley. On 29 June, pyroclastic explosions propelled material about 75 m above the crater. Read all- More about Fuego volcano

There is no lava on the surface of Kilauea volcano. Since the last, brief eruptive episode due to an intrusion in the upper eastern rift zone on 18/19 June, Pu'u O'o, the vent of the recent long-lasting eruption, is slowly deflating while HVO records continuing inflation at the summit caldera.
Wether this is the end of the longest known historic eruption on Hawaii - starting in 1983 and virtually ongoing uninteruptedly until 19 June 2006, is still unclear or a matter of definition. The near to medium future (weeks to months, probably) will also tell whether the present inflation of the summit caldera heralds some new summit activity, similar as in the early 1980s.

The IG reported that during 20-25 June mudflows and lahars traveled on the S, W, NW, and N flanks of Tungurahua and interrupted traffic. A steam plume with little ash content was observed on 21 June.
