This image is from a research camera positioned on the north rim of Mokuʻāweoweo, the summit caldera of Mauna Loa volcano by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. If you look carefully around early morning or late evening, you may see a few thermal areas emitting steam. See 'Current Activity' for the latest Mauna Loa information.

This image is from a thermal camera located on the north rim of Mauna Loa's summit caldera. The camera was upgraded on November 8, 2023. The new camera is not currently temperature-calibrated, therefore it only provides a relative comparison of temperatures within view. For this reason, no temperature scale can be displayed at this time.
