Vigorous fountaining during episode 14

As episode 14 lava fountaining occurred during the ongoing Kīlauea summit eruption, the KWcam webcam, F1cam thermal camera and continuous laser rangefinder perched on the crater edge (upper right portion of the photo), provided a continuous record of activity. These cameras were hit by grapefruit-sized pieces of tephra during an earlier episode of fountaining, but were protected by their enclosures. USGS photo by M. Patrick on March 20, 2025.
