Detailed Description

Late in the afternoon on Wednesday, June 11, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists visited the western rim of Halemaʻumaʻu crater for a closer look at the active Kīlauea summit eruptive vents. Even several hours into eruptive episode 25, lava fountains were still reaching higher than the crater rim, over 500 ft (150 m) tall. USGS photo by M. Zoeller.
