Photo and Video Chronology — January 7, 2025 — Kīlauea summit eruption remains paused

The eruption at Kīlauea volcano that began on Monday, December 23 remains paused as of 8:40 pm on Friday, January 3. Glow persists from the cones on the southwest side of the caldera. 

A gas plume rises from the inactive vent at Kīlauea summit, two days after the pause in lava effusion.  The vent was quiet, with no audible sound—a contrast with the sounds of lava fountaining, akin to loud crashing waves, on earlier days. USGS video by M. Patrick.
