March 27, 2025 — View of north vent a day after episode 15 at Kīlauea's summit

View of north vent from the northwest, nearly 12 hours after the end of episode 15 of the eruption at Kīlauea's summit. Tephra covers the slopes of north vent, and the area to the north, giving the appearance of a surface covered in brown sand. At the time this photo was taken, only south vent (right) had any degassing of note, as evidence by white steam (mostly water vapor) rising. Oozeouts on the crater floor are visible in the middle left of the photo. USGS photo by N. Deligne.
