September 17, 2023 — Kīlauea summit eruption stopped

Detailed Description

HVO field crews observed no eruptive activity at the summit of Kīlauea this morning, September 17, 2023. The eruption within the caldera that began on September 10 stopped on September 16. Some areas of steam persist, and overnight webcam views showed incandescence across the eruption area as lava erupted over the past week continues to cool. USGS photo by J. Chang.
