February 12, 2025 — Lava flow in Halemaʻumaʻu

During a monitoring overflight at approximately 12:30 p.m., USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff observed active lava still flowing on the surface within Halema‘uma‘u. Although lava fountains of episode 9 had ceased erupting at 8:43 a.m., molten material has remained active on the surface, which has also been observed following other recent episodes of the ongoing eruption within Halema‘uma‘u at the summit of Kīlauea.
