Thermal map of Kīlauea Caldera
This thermal map was constructed by merging about 1300 images from a morning helicopter overflight, and shows the distribution of some of the prominent thermal features in the caldera. The most conspicuous area is a region of high temperatures in the deepest part of the collapse depression, in the area of Halema‘uma‘u.
