April 8, 2025 — Inactive north vent in Halemaʻumaʻu

As the day progressed on April 8, despite continued lava fountaining at the south vent (background right), activity declined at the north vent (foreground left). This afternoon photo captured from the western rim of Halemaʻumaʻu crater—looking to the south—shows the north vent's lava pond fully crusted over and sitting lower within the spatter cone.
