Viewing an Otolith Under a Microscope
Lynn Ogilvie, a USGS biological science technician, adjusts an otolith under a microscope. Photographs of otoliths are taken using a camera mounted on top of the microscope and a video feed on the computer. Notice the magnified otolith on the screen in the background. This photo was taken in 2018, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A view into the center of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. Collapses on thA view into the center of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. Collapses on the crater walls have enlarged sections of the crater and filled the bottom of the crater with rockfall debris. The deepest portion of the crater is about 286 m (938 ft) below the crater floor that existed prior to the collapse on April 30, 2018. Steam rises from the loose rock on the crater floor.

midwinter dawn at Halema‘uma‘u
A midwinter dawn at Halema‘uma‘u on Kīlauea. Steaming cracks tell of water and heat interacting beneath the summit caldera of the volcano. In the background, the first rays of sunlight illuminate Uēkahuna Bluff.
