February 12, 2025 — Kīlauea summit overflight VIDEO
Detailed Description
USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff conducted a monitoring overflight of Kīlauea summit at 12:30 p.m. on February 12, 2025, following the end of episode 9 of the eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu. A patchwork of lava flows of difference colors and different ages cover the floor of Halema‘uma‘u, at the summit of Kīlauea. Nine lava fountaining episodes in the southwest part of Kaluapele since December 23, 2024, have fed lava flows that work their way east across the caldera floor. Although episode 9 of the eruption stopped the morning of February 12, at 8:43 a.m. HST, minor amounts of lava were visible actively flowing in the distal parts of the flow field during the monitoring overflight at approximately 12:30 pm. HST.
