Photo and Video Chronology — January 10, 2025 — Kīlauea summit overflight

On the morning of January 10, 2025, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff conducted a monitoring overflight of Kīlauea summit. Although the eruption has remained paused since the evening of January 3, 2025, glow has since persisted from the inactive vents and lava was observed within them during the overflight.

On January 10, 2025, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists (HVO) collected data from two semi-permanent GPS sites on Kīlauea’s caldera floor. GPS stations record changes in elevation on the caldera floor and can track ground deformation changes that HVO uses for monitoring unrest. Some GPS stations are telemetered, meaning that their data is transferred to HVO in near real time, but these two semi-permanent stations require manual data collection which can be seen here. Gas plumes from the paused eruption vents can be seen in the background. USGS photo by H. Winslow.
