HVO scientists are performing maintenance on the V3 livestream camera this morning. You may see glimpses of the people working on it as well as images of the ground and sky while it is being worked on. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2026-02-15 23:51:52 HST
Episode 42 ended at 11:38 pm HST. The south vent faltered and then jetted just after 11:34 p.m. Narrow jets erupted from the south vent in the last 2 minutes. The north vent dropped slowly at this time and also jetted in the last minute. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2026-02-15 23:22:12 HST
Both fountains have dropped to below 500 feet (150 meters). About 14 million cubic yards have been erupted and the UWD tiltmeter has recorded 33 microradians of deflation. Lava flows have covered 40-50% of the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2026-02-15 20:42:02 HST
Fountains slowly dropped to about 650 and 550 ft (200 and 170 m) for the south and north vents. Over 10 million cubic yards (8 million cubic meters) of lava have erupted and the UWD tiltmeter recorded 27 microradians of deflation so far. View All Messages.

HVO monitors earthquakes and the active volcanoes in Hawaii, assesses their hazards, issues warnings, and advances scientific understanding to reduce the impacts of volcanic eruptions. Communicating the results of our work to the public, emergency managers, and the scientific community is an important aspect of the HVO mission.
