Volcanic Maps

This map depicts the locations of approximately 300 earthquakes that have occurred between January 12 and 22, 2026, in the summit region of Kīlauea volcano. Most earthquakes have been smaller than magnitude-2, with locations broadly distributed beneath Halemaʻumaʻu and the south caldera region of Kīlauea summit.

This thermal map of the summit of Kīlauea was made from images collected during a January 16 overflight, just four days after the episode 40 lava fountaining on January 12.

This reference map depicts the Kīlauea summit eruption within Halema‘uma‘u crater that began on December 23, 2024. The data for this map were collected during a Hawaiian Volcano Observatory helicopter overflight on January 2, 2026; as such, the provided statistics are reflective of the first thirty-nine episodes of the eruption through December 24, 2025.

This map shows thickness values for lava flows within Halema‘uma‘u crater from the Kīlauea summit eruption that began on December 23, 2024.

This reference map depicts the Kīlauea summit eruption within Halema‘uma‘u crater that began on December 23, 2024. As of this posting on December 11, 2025, the eruption has had thirty-eight episodes, with the most recent occurring on December 6.

These three thermal maps were made from oblique thermal images collected during helicopter overflights of Kīlauea summit. The collection dates bracket the last two episodes of lava fountaining - episode 37 was on November 25 and episode 38 was on December 6.
