Eruption at the summit of Kilauea volcano
An eruption at the summit of Kīlauea volcano began on September 10, 2023. The main fountain, which HVO geologists estimate is approximately 50 meters tall, is on the eastern margin of Halemaʻumaʻu crater. As of approximately 4:30 p.m.

Timelapse video of initial day of September 2023 Kīlauea eruption
This timelapse video shows the first two days of the recent eruption at Kīlauea summit, which was active September 10 to 16, 2023. Over this initial period, the fountaining at either end of the fissure system gradually shuts down as activity focuses on the central portion.

Ear Spring
"Ear Spring is a truly hot spring, with surface water temperatures often above the boiling point of 198°F (92°C) at this elevation. True to its name, this pool is shaped somewhat like an ear." - NPS

Rainbow over Ledge Geyser
A rainbow rises over Ledge Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. "Ledge is the second largest geyser in the Norris Geyser Basin, capable of shooting water 125 feet into the air. Because it erupts at an angle, however, the water will sometimes reach the ground 220 feet away." - NPS

River and Thermals — Yellowstone National Park
The Gibbon River, named for Colonel (later General) John Gibbon, who was a member of an early exploring survey of the Yellowstone region, starts near the Center of Yellowstone National Park. All of the outflow from Norris Geyser Basin drains into the river, which merges with the Firehole River in the west part of the park to become the Madison River.

Beryl Springs — Yellowstone National Park
Beryl Spring, in the Gibbon River Canyon, is chemically complex—it has a pool with a basic composition and a steam vent with an acidic composition! It’s location next to the highway has caused numerous problems for the road, requiring some creative engineering solutions and a lot of geological expertise!

Bison shuffles slowly on roadway
A bison is seen shuffling slowly down a road in Yellowstone National Park. The bison appears to be staying to the shoulder allowing others to safely bypass. The bison was safely recorded from inside a stopped vehicle. Never approach bison on the roadway.

Blue Mud Steam Vent — Yellowstone National Park
In Yellowstone, a clue about whether a thermal feature is acidic or basic is the style of the feature. Pools of water are generally basic, while mud pots are acidic. Blue Mud Steam Vent is a classic example of an acidic mud pot.
