By Hawaiian Volcano Observatory November 8, 2024

Mauna Loa summit webcams have been down for several months due to wind damage at the radio telemetry site. On November 7, 2024, HVO staff visited the site and performed a partial fix that brought the webcams back online.

November 7, 2024 — Mauna Loa

HVO staff made a visit to the windy and cold summit region of Mauna Loa on Thursday, November 7, 2024. There, they inspected the radio telemetry site, with clear views of Mauna Kea, and found wind damage to several components. High winds at the summit of Mauna Loa had ripped several solar panels from their masts, damaging them. HVO staff performed a partial fix to the site to bring the Mauna Loa summit webcams back online.
