July 17, 2025 — Cone growth around Halema‘uma‘u eruptive vents within Kaluapele

Detailed Description

Significant cracks have appeared in the cone around the eruptive vents in Halemaʻumaʻu, as this feature has slumped downwards following episode 28. The south vent, which did not erupt during episode 28, was completely covered but the north vent remains visibly degassing. Mauna Kea is on the horizon in the background of the image.
