April 2, 2025 — Aerial view of active lava flows at Kīlauea's summit

Detailed Description

Episode 16 of the ongoing eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu stopped just after noon today, April 2, 2025. On a USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory monitoring overflight within the hours following its end, the crater floor was a patchwork of active and inactive lava flows. In this photo, active lava oooze-outs are visible near the vents that erupted in September 2023, which are slowly being buried by lava flows during the recent eruptive episodes. USGS photo by K. Lynn.
