March 19, 2025 — Lava flow from south vent

Early on March 19, the southern eruptive vent within Halemaʻumaʻu crater at the summit of Kīlauea was the primary host of low-level eruptive activity. This photo, captured from the southern crater rim, shows minor spatter at the vent and a small lava flow proceeding onto the crater floor. USGS photo by M. Zoeller.
