Photo and Video Chronology – HVO deploys new webcam and monitoring equipment at Kīlauea summit – August 25, 2023
On August 25, 2023, HVO staff deployed a new webcam and survey equipment in Kīlauea's summit region. Kīlauea volcano is not erupting but earthquakes and ground deformation indicate that Kīlauea's summit region is becoming increasingly pressurized.
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists deployed monitoring equipment with permission from, and in coordination with, Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Several GPS instruments deployed in Kīlauea south caldera region will measure ground deformation during the ongoing unrest there. A new webcam provides views of Halemaʻumaʻu crater, where recent eruptions have occurred. Halemaʻumaʻu is a significant location to Native Hawaiian communities because it is the home of Pele.

Scientists temporarily deployed a handful of GPS instruments at established benchmarks; their recorded positions can be compared with those from previous years to discern subtle patterns of ground deformation associated with the ongoing earthquake and ground deformation activity.
