Eruption overflight on February 1, 2021—Kīlauea
No major changes were observed at the lava lake in Halema‘uma‘u crater during yesterday's helicopter overflight. Eruptive activity continues from the western fissure, with active surface lava largely confined to the western half of the lake. USGS photo by M. Patrick.

Eruptive activity continues within Halema‘uma‘u crater—Kīlauea summit
Eruptive activity continues within Halema‘uma‘u crater—Kīlauea summitThe lava lake within Halema‘uma‘u crater, at the summit of Kīlauea, remains active. An HVO geologist uses a laser rangefinder to measure the elevation of various spots on the lava lake surface. Today (February 2), the active, western portion of the lake was about 213 m (699 ft) deep.

Rockfall debris on lava lake surface crust—Kīlauea summit eruption
Rockfall debris on lava lake surface crust—Kīlauea summit eruptionRockfalls have been a frequent occurrence in Halema‘uma‘u crater, both before and during the current eruption. Debris from a recent rockfall can be seen sitting on the solidified lava lake crust (center). The crust on the southern edge of the lava lake is thick enough to support the weight of the boulders that have fallen. USGS photo taken by B.
