April 29, 2025 — Overview of western Halema‘uma‘u
Detailed Description
This overview photo of western Halema‘uma‘u crater was captured during a USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory monitoring helicopter overflight on Tuesday, April 29. The Kīlauea summit eruption remains paused since the end of episode 18; however, during the overflight, active lava was observed deep within the eruptive vents (upper left), though no flows were active on the crater floor.
