A telephoto aerial view of the episode 30 lava fountaining at Kīlauea summit, taken during a morning helicopter overflight. The dominant fountain was in the north vent, while a smaller fountain was active in the south vent. Channelized streams of lava, fed by the fountains in the north and south vents, flow to the eastern portion of the crater floor. USGS photo taken by M. Bagnardi on August 6, 2025.
