And in 1999 magma flowed out of a geothermal well in Iceland. The Iceland well was less than 1,000 meters deep.

The Hawaii strike and an estimated rock temperature of approximately 1050° (1922°F). There’s some serious hot rock potential there.

When drillers struck magma in 2005 they installed a permanent seismic and ground monitoring network to provide early warning of any impending volcanic activity. I’ve found no info about observed seismic activity in the vicinity of the bore.

Seems that with that sort of heat you could have single-hole dry rock geothermal.
