February 11, 2025 — View of the north vent just prior to the start of episode 9

USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists visited the Kīlauea eruption site at Haleaʻumaʻu the morning of February 11, 2025, just prior to the start of episode 9 of the eruption. From the caldera rim, they captured this view within the north vent, where the occasional spattering over the day prior had constructed a small cone within the vent. USGS photo by M. Patrick.
