Photo and Video Chronology — January 3, 2025 — Overflight of Kīlauea summit eruption

The eruption at Kīlauea volcano that began on Monday, December 23 continues this morning. USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists conducted a monitoring overflight at approximately 7 a.m. HST. 

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists captured these videos of the Kīlauea summit on January 3, 2025, during a morning overflight at approximately 7 a.m. HST. With permission from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, geologists landed in Halemaʻumaʻu, which is home to the Native Hawaiian elemental force associated with lava, Pele. Geologists collected a molten sample of lava, which is quickly quenched with water in a metal bucket. Later geochemical analyses of the sample will provide scientists with information about conditions in the magma chamber and magma’s path to the surface. USGS videos by M. Patrick.
