KWcam captures changes to Halemaʻumaʻu crater, at Kīlauea's summit

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory KWcam at Kīlauea's summit has captured changes within Halemaʻumaʻu crater, at Kīlauea's summit since the eruption that began on September 29, 2021. The first image was taken on September 29, 2021, just before the eruption began; the second image was taken the morning of August 4, 2021, just after 9:30 a.m. HST and shows how much of Halemaʻumaʻu crater has filled over the past ten months. Since the eruption began, 98 million cubic meters (26 billion gallons) of lava has been erupted, which is about 40 times the The Great Pyramid of Giza in volume. This lava has filled 133 meters (437 feet) of the crater. Near-real-time images captured by the KWcam are available here: /volcanoes/kilauea/kwcam-live-panorama-halema-uma-u-.... USGS webcam images.
