Detailed Description

This photo shows the gas monitoring site layout at Sulfur Cone. On the left side of the photo is the power/telemetry system which powers the Multi-Gas instrument and sends data back to HVO via radio to be later analyzed by HVO gas scientists. The Multi-Gas instrument itself is located in the center right of the photo approximately 10 meters (30 feet) away from the power system. Gas and steam in the background is being emitted from a large fissure created during the 1950 eruption of Mauna Loa. USGS photo by M. Cappos.
