KWcam at Kīlauea's summit captures changes within Halemaʻumaʻu crater over the past year

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory KWcam at Kīlauea's summit has captured changes within Halemaʻumaʻu crater, at Kīlauea's summit, over the past year. At approximately 3:21 pm, HST, on September 29, 2021, new fissures opened at the base of Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Since then, the crater floor has continued to rise in elevation and grow in area as the eruption continues. The first image was taken on September 29, 2021, just after the eruption began; the second image was taken the morning of September 29, 2022, and shows the changes over the past year.
