Detailed Description

At Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō there have been no major changes within the crater. Kona winds blew the gas plume to the northeast, providing a clear view up the east rift zone. Behind Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō, Kamoamoa, Nāpau Crater and Mauna Ulu are in sight. Near the base of Mauna Loa (upper right) the Halema‘uma‘u summit plume is faintly visible.
