February 11, 2025 — Monitoring Halemaʻumaʻu episode 9 lava fountains at the summit of Kīlauea
Detailed Description
On the evening of February 11, 2025, USGS geologists deployed to the rim of Kaluapele to observe and document episode nine of the ongoing December 2024–February 2025 Halema‘uma‘u eruption at the summit of Kīlauea. Near the KWcam site, USGS geologists checked on timelapse cameras that have been capturing the ongoing eruption since December 23, 2024. Tall fountain heights from this latest episode of the eruption pose a threat to the cameras, which can begin to warp and melt if the erupting lava fountains reach high enough to get close to them.
