November 25, 2025—Monitoring Kīlauea summit eruption episode 37

Detailed Description

USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists document lava fountains and lava flows during episode 37 of the ongoing Kīlauea summit eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu crater. From the rim of the crater, scientists can use a laser rangefinding device to approximately measure the lava fountain heights, and distance the lava flows have travelled. USGS photo by M. Patrick.
