May 5, 2024—InSAR image of deformation during Kīlauea upper East Rift Zone swarm

This map shows recent deformation at Kīlauea from April 19 to May 5, 2024, as recorded by the Italian Space Agency's (AGI) Cosmo-SkyMED satellite. Colored fringes denote areas of ground deformation, with more fringes indicating more deformation.  Each color cycle represents 1.5 cm (0.6 in) of ground motion indicative of inflation as the magma reservoir south of Kaluapele pressurized during this time period. White circles mark the locations of earthquakes from April 19 to May 5, 2024, as recorded by HVO seismometers. The earthquake activity under the upper East Rift Zone peaked during April 27 to May 4, 2024, and though seismicity under the upper East Rift Zone has decreased over the past several days, the summit remains pressurized.
