Vigorous fountaining during episode 14

Vigorous fountaining began around 6:30 a.m. on March 20, and continued into the early afternoon, as part of episode 14 of the ongoing summit eruption of Kīlauea. In this view from the northeast rim of Kaluapele (the summit caldera), the fountains produce a high outgassing plume, with Mauna Loa on the right side of the photo. USGS photo by M. Patrick.
