January 3, 2025 — Kīlauea Overlook within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park

USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists captured this image of the Kīlauea Overlook within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park during an early morning helicopter overflight on January 3, 2025. Using the cars as a scale, it's easy to see how close the overlook is from the edge of the cliff. It is important to stay behind the safety barriers and listen to the instruction of National Park personnel when viewing the eruption. USGS photo by L. Gallant.
