December 2, 2025—Solidified lava channel from the north vent in Halemaʻumaʻu, Kīlauea summit
Detailed Description
This black solidified lava channel is a stark contrast to the weathered brown walls of Halemaʻumaʻu crater nearby. The lava channel transported lava from the north vent, along the north rim of the crater, allowing lava flows to reach the farthest regions of the crater to the east during the 9 hours of lava fountaining of episode 37 on November 25, 2025.
