An Aerial View of Pu'u 'O 'o

Detailed Description

An aerial view of Pu'u 'O 'o, looking toward the southwest. Although the inside of the crater is shrouded in fume, a distinct plume can still be seen coming from the east wall. This vent has once again become the dominant heat source in Pu'u 'O 'o since the cessation of flows in the crater several weeks ago.
