June 18, 2025 — Kīlauea eruptive pause before episode 26
Detailed Description
Cycles of gas pistoning were observed in the north vent, at Kīlauea summit, by USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists looking down upon the vent from the caldera rim on June 18. The peak of each cycle produced loud jetting sounds and a brief glimpse of spatter, but the lava column was not visible and no lava flows were produced. USGS photo by M. Patrick.
