On the afternoon of Monday, February 7, 2022, Kīlauea's summit lava lake activity was located on the west side of Halema‘uma‘u crater. This view of the eruption, from the west side of the crater (in the vicinity of the KWcam and looking to the east) during a Hawaiian Volcano Observatory eruption monitoring field shift shows the effusive outlet feeding the active pond of lava.
