June 25, 2024 — Webcam upgrade for Kīlauea summit and Southwest Rift Zone

The upgraded KPcam is located in the white box, fixed on a mast about a couple meters (yards) high. The camera view, which is the southeast, captures the uppermost portions of Kīlauea's middle East Rift Zone, the summit region, and the upper part of Kīlauea's Southwest Rift Zone. This expansive view helps HVO to evaluate the location of new eruptive activity at Kīlauea, and to evaluate how high eruptive plumes are extending. USGS photo by M. Warren.
