July 20, 2025 — Panoramic image showing episode 29 of Halema‘uma‘u eruption within Kaluapele

This panoramic image, taken at 5:39 p.m. H.S.T. on July 20, 2025, shows episode 29 of the ongoing eruption in Halema‘uma‘u crater, within Kaluapele (the summit caldera of Kīlauea volcano). This view, looking eastward, shows from right (south) to left (north) the hill of tephra (brown) that has accumulated since the start of the eruption, north vent with fountains that are about 30 meters (100 feet) high, and lava flows spreading eastward across the crater floor. Lava flows extended about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) from north vent during episode 29. Episode 29 ended 56 minutes after this photo was taken at 6:35 p.m. USGS photo by N. Deligne.
