This map shows the tephra fall associated with episode 44 of Kīlauea's episodic summit eruption, on April 9, 2026. Tephra is a generic word for any material erupted by a volcano that travels through the air before landing on the ground.

COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation (CSG) interferogram for the period from April 1 to April 9, 2026, covering Kīlauea volcano’s summit region. Each color fringe represents 1.55 centimeters (0.61 inches) of ground movement in the direction between the satellite and the ground (range change).

This reference map depicts the Kīlauea summit eruption within Halema‘uma‘u crater that began on December 23, 2024.

This map shows the tephra fall associated with episode 43 of Kīlauea's episodic summit eruption, on March 10, 2026. Tephra is a generic word for any material erupted by a volcano that travels through the air before landing on the ground.

This reference map depicts the Kīlauea summit eruption within Halema‘uma‘u crater that began on December 23, 2024. As of this posting on March 2, 2026, the eruption has had forty-two episodes, with the most recent occurring on February 15.

These thermal maps at the summit of Kīlauea show the crater floor after episodes 41 and 42. Episode 41 produced a lava flow that covered much of the eastern crater floor, while episode 42 produced flows that stopped short of reaching the eastern edge of the crater floor.

This map shows lava flow and tephra accumulation at the summit of Kīlauea volcano associated with episode 42 of the ongoing eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu that started on December 23, 2024, using data recorded by the Italian Space Agency's (ASI) COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation satellite constellation.

This map shows recent deformation at Kīlauea, over the timeframe of February 10–16, 2026. Data were acquired by the European Space Agency's Sentinel-1A/C satellites. Each color cycle represents 2.8 cm (1.1 in) of ground movement in the direction between the satellite and the ground (range change).

This map shows the tephra fall associated with episode 41 of Kīlauea's episodic summit eruption, on January 24, 2026. Tephra is a generic word for any material erupted by a volcano that travels through the air before landing on the ground.

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.
