April 9, 2025 — Kīlauea summit eruption episode 17 overview
Detailed Description
A helicopter overflight the morning of April 9, 2025, at 7 a.m. HST provided views of the episode 17 lava fountaining at the summit of Kīlauea just a few hours before it ended. The lava fountains were supplying lava into a flow that covered much of the Halema‘uma‘u crater floor. The fountains also produced a towering outgassing plume above the summit. Mauna Loa is visible in the background. USGS photo by M. Patrick.
