View of gas plume from Pu`u `O`o

View of gas plume from Pu`u `O`o and rootless shields as seen from Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, 20 km away. Pu`u `O`o is source of left-hand-most brown plume. Other sources to right come from rootless shields. Gas finally lifts off ground, and water vapor condenses to form cloud. White cloud bank is steam from 1959 lava lake in Kilauea Iki Crater. Other steam vents barely visible on floor of Kilauea's caldera.
