The KIcam, KW2cam, KEcam, and M1cam, which are located in the observation tower of the Okamura Building that previously housed the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, will be decommissioned during the latter half of January 2024. These webcams will be removed from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory website on February 1, 2024:

• KIcam: [KIcam] Live Panorama of Kīlauea caldera from HVO Observation Tower | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov)
• KW2cam: [KW2cam] Live Panorama of Halemaʻumaʻu - Wide Angle from HVO Observation Tower | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov)
• KEcam: [KEcam] Live Panorama of Kīlauea Caldera - East Wide Angle from HVO Observation Tower | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov)
• M1cam: [M1cam] Mauna Loa's Northeast Rift Zone from HVO Observation Tower | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov)

Kīlauea

KIcam, KW2cam, and KEcam provide views of Kaluapele (Kīlauea caldera). Please see the K2cam (https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/k2cam-kaluapele-kilauea-caldera-uekahuna-bluff) which provides views from a similar vantage.

Several other webcams provide alternate views of Kaluapele (Kīlauea caldera):

• [F1cam] Halemaʻumaʻu thermal image from the west rim of the summit caldera, looking east

• [V1cam] - Kīlauea caldera views

• [B1cam] - Kīlauea caldera down-dropped block and Halemaʻumaʻu

• [B2cam] Halemaʻumaʻu crater from the east rim and down-dropped block

• [KWcam] Halemaʻumaʻu, lava lake, and down-dropped block from the west rim of the summit caldera, looking east

Mauna Loa

The M1cam provides a view of Mauna Loa's Northeast Rift Zone. A webcam with views from a similar vantage will be provided soon.

In the meantime, please see the following webcams, which provide alternate views of Mauna Loa's Northeast Rift Zone: 

• MKcam - [MKcam] - Mauna Loa's Summit and Northeast Rift Zone from Mauna Kea | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov)
• MK2cam - Mauna Loa's Summit and Northeast Rift Zone [MK2cam] | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov)
