On June 3, an HVO field geologist visited the site of the fissure 8 webcam on Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone. The purpose of the trip was to change batteries in the webcam and make visual observations of fissure 8's cone and interior. No steam or fumes were visible and only a faint smell of sulfur was momentarily detected. The tan and gray rock in the foreground is the exterior surface of a lava levee on the opposite side of the fissure 8 spillway. View is to the southwest. USGS image by C. Parcheta.
