January 5, 2025 — Kīlauea summit eruption remains paused

Detailed Description

A gas plume rises from the inactive vent at Kīlauea summit, two days after the pause in lava effusion.  The vent was quiet, with no audible sound—a contrast with the sounds of lava fountaining, akin to loud crashing waves, on earlier days. USGS photo by M. Patrick.
