Kīlauea Volcano's summit lava lake level typically rises and falls in concert with summit inflation and deflation, as shown by these two HVO webcam images. The left image was captured a week ago (on Jan. 17, 2017), when the lava level was 52.5 m (172 ft) below the vent rim, the lowest level measured since April 8, 2016. The right image, captured this morning (Jan. 24, 2017), shows the lava lake level at 15 m (49 ft) below the vent rim. Unfortunately, gases emitted from the lava lake and poor weather conditions partially obscure the images.
