November 13, 2026 — Panoramic view of southwest Halema‘uma‘u

Panoramic view of the cone (pu‘u) that has formed in the predominant downwind direction (southwest) of the vents during the ongoing eruption at Halema‘uma‘u at the summit of Kīlauea, the south side of southwest vent, and part of the Halema‘uma‘u crater floor. This photo was taken south of the southwest corner of Halema‘uma‘u and is looking to the north-northeast. The degassing plume from north and southwest vents is visible as it rises up over the cone. Mauna Loa can be seen in the background on the left. USGS photo by N. Deligne.
