May 12, 2026 — Ānuenue in Halema‘uma‘u

Detailed Description

The arrival of misty rains during the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory helicopter overflight on May 12, 2026, precluded a full imaging of the Halema‘uma‘u crater floor, but it did offer views of an ānuenue (rainbow) in front of the Kīlauea summit eruptive vents. USGS photo by P. Dotray.
