On the morning of January 24th, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists conducted an overflight of Kīlauea summit to capture thermal and surficial imagery of the December 2024 to January 2025 paused eruption. This video compilation shows aerial views of Halema’uma’u captured during the overflight.

January 17, 2025 – UAS video of spattering eruptive vents in Halema‘uma‘u
On Friday, January 17, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) geologists flew an uncrewed aircraft system (UAS, or “drone”) into Halema‘uma‘u crater to capture this close-up video of spattering at the two active vents of the ongoing Kīlauea summit eruption. Friday’s UAS flight was conducted with the permission of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, owing to HVO’s mission to monitor active volcanoes in Hawaii, assess their hazards, issue warnings, and advance scientific understanding to reduce the impacts of eruptions. Unauthorized launching, landing, or operating of a UAS from or on lands and waters administered by the National Park Service is prohibited under 36 CFR Closures & Public Use.
