January 10, 2025 — Kīlauea overflight

Detailed Description

An aerial view of both eruptive vents from the December 2024 to January 2025 eruption in Kīlauea's summit. This photo is looking down with the south vent on the left and the north vent on the right. The south vent has been the most active during the eruption and produced fountains up to 90 meters (about 300 feet) during its opening phase. While the eruption is paused as of January 3, 2025, today (1/10/25) geologists observed a small lava flow coming out of the south vent and lava glow within the north vent. USGS photo by H. Winslow.
