September 2, 2022 — Kīlauea summit eruption monitoring

A view of the eruption in Halema‘uma‘u at the summit of Kīlauea, taken on September 2, 2022, by HVO geologists on the south rim of the crater. Nice weather allowed for clear views of the active lava lake, which is in approximately the center of the image. The Uēkahuna Bluff is visible in the background on the opposite rim of the crater, and portions of Crater Rim Drive, which collapsed into the crater in 2018, are visible in the lower left portion of the image.
