May 1, 2025 — View of the north vent at Kīlauea volcano
Detailed Description
On May 1, 2025, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists observed a small spatter cone that had built up by intermittent spattering within the north vent over the past several days in Halemaʻumaʻu. The small spatter cone was about 5 meters (16 feet) higher than the vent floor below it, while the rim of the north cone was measured as another 3 meters (10 feet) above the top of the inner spatter cone.
