June 30, 2026 — Looking down the north vent, Kīlauea summit
Detailed Description
View looking down the north vent, taken during a USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory monitoring overflight on June 30, 2026. Glow and flames have been intermittently seen since episode 50 of lava fountaining in Halema‘uma‘u ended on June 27, 2026, but no glow was observed from the north or south vents during the overflight. The gas plume was robust and obscured good views into the vent conduits. USGS photo by D. Downs.
