Photo and Video Chronology - Kīlauea - May 16, 2005

Plumes rise from E. Kamoamoa entry (foreground) and East Lae`apuki (background) on May 13, 2005. The entry at Kamoamoa is about halfway in between, with a plume too small to be visible from this angle. View is looking southwest, toward end of Chain of Craters Road.

Pu`u `O`o crater, looking westward across the crater vents, most of which are incandescent at night. The East Pond Vent is in the foreground. The collapsed cone hosts an active lava pond, which is about 15 m below the level of the crater floor. Photo taken on May 13, 2005.

Skylight on upper PKK lava tube. Lava is flowing toward the left side of the photo, headed toward Pulama pali. Photo taken on May 13, 2005.
