April 25, 2025 — Kīlauea summit eruption vents degassing

This photo shows south (center) and north (right) vents degassing, three days after the end of episode 18 of Kīlauea's ongoing summit eruption. Mauna Loa's flank is visible in the upper portion of the photo. The tephra blanket (brown) from recent episodes is visible on the wall behind the vents and also draping over the ground at the top of the cliff. The top of the June 2023 cone is visible in the bottom left of the photo, a reddish-brown remnant surrounded by black lava from episode 18. USGS photo by N. Deligne.
