Kīlauea summit eruption—January 28, 2022

A telephoto view of the northeastern edge of the lava lake within Halema‘uma‘u crater at the summit of Kīlauea. Two steep-sided spatter cones (near center) have been making audible gas-jetting sounds which have been noted by field crews over the past few days. These gas-jetting sounds have also been audible from the Uēkahuna bluff area within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. USGS photo taken by L. DeSmither on January 28, 2022.
