October 6, 2026 — Thermal and visual image of new ground cracks from recent intrusion at Kīlauea summit
Detailed Description
A comparison of a thermal image and visual image of the new cracking in the north caldera at Kīlauea summit. The bands of higher ground temperatures extend to the left of the crack because the warm steam is carried southwest by the tradewinds. The temperature scale is in Celsius, with maximum observed temperatures in these cracks of about 60 dg C, or 140 dg F. USGS photo by M. Patrick.
