January 10, 2025 — Kīlauea summit overflight

Detailed Description

An aerial image of the western portion of Halema‘uma‘u crater within Kaluapele (Kīlauea's summit caldera). The eruption remained paused during the morning overflight on January 10, with a plume of volcanic gas rising from the vents on the western crater wall and blowing southwest with typical trade winds. The old Crater Rim Drive (left) was heavily damaged during the summit collapse events in 2018, which included portions of the road slumping into the crater. USGS photo taken by L. DeSmither.
