Kīlauea lower East Rift Zone

Hovering at about 180 m (600 ft), the Unmanned Aircraft Systems captured this view into the fissure 8 cinder cone. Lava has filled the small footprint-shaped crater inside the cone. Sluggish Pāhoehoe flows have crept across the floor but are not flowing into the spillway. Other vents were steaming due to the morning rains.
