Telephoto view of the most active lava fountain during a helicopter overflight of the current eruption within Halema‘uma‘u, Kīlauea, taken on January 8, 2023. This fountain is within the eastern half of Halema‘uma‘u. The red cracks that emanate from the fountain, giving the appearance of a spider's web, indicate that lava is moving radially away from the fountain in all directions. USGS photo by N. Deligne.
