A movie of the erupting vent on the east wall of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō Crater. The movie begins with a cascade of lava filling the southern opening on the east wall and ends at the spattering source, which is producing the cascading flow.

Movie of the lava lake in Kīlauea's summit vent in Halema‘uma‘u crater minutes after a slice of the vent wall had plunged into the lava. The lava lake is roiling violently as the recently added wall debris is digested by the lava. Slabs of rock can be seen breaking loose from the base of the overhanging vent wall and falling into the lava.

Movie showing the second of five large collapses within Kīlauea's summit vent on the floor of Halema‘uma‘u. The collapse was captured by a Webcam located on the rim of Halema‘uma‘u directly above the erupting vent.

This Quicktime movie shows a quick video of the lava lake in Halema‘uma‘u crater taken during today's overflight. The lava surface has recently been very shallow, as little as 90 meters (98 yards) below the floor of Halema‘uma‘u crater.

Movie showing ashy plume rising above Kīlauea's summit vent in Halema‘uma‘u crater. The plume was the result of the collapse of a portion of the vent wall moments earlier.

The 2011 Mississippi River flood was among the largest and most damaging to occur along this waterway in the past century. This major flood event dramatically increased the flow of water and sediment down the main channel of the Mississippi River and its tributary, the Atchafalaya River.
