June 24, 2025 — Reinstalling KWcam, F1cam, and laser rangefinder at Kīlauea summit

Detailed Description

On June 24, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff reinstalled the KWcam, F1cam, and laser rangefinder on the rim of Kaluapele, Kīlauea summit caldera. These instruments had been removed from the field in March 2025 as they were within an area impacted by tephra fallout from the ongoing eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu at the summit of Kīlauea. Their new location, where they were installed with permission from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, is farther from the active vents.  USGS photo by M. Patrick.
