November 24, 2025 — Vents in Halemaʻumaʻu at the summit of Kīlauea

Detailed Description

Aerial view within Halema‘uma‘u crater taken during a Kīlauea summit overflight on the morning of November 24, 2025. This view, looking to the northwest, shows the north vent cone (center of image) and south vent cone (center-left) emitting plumes of steam and volcanic gas. Recent activity from both vents, which started again on November 21, produced a series of small Pāhoehoe overflows from the vents (silver flows from center to bottom of photo). The Northeast Rift Zone of Mauna Loa is visible in the background. USGS photo taken by M. Warren.
