All webcams are courtesy USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Kīlauea - Summit CamsKīlauea is the youngest and most active volcano on the island of Hawaiʻi, with a consistently active summit caldera that frequently hosts lava lake-style eruptions. According to Native Hawaiian tradition, Halemaʻumaʻu crater is the home of the volcanic deity Pele.

Kīlauea Summit from Mauna Loa Road [KPcam]View from Mauna Loa Road looking at the Kīlauea summit to document volcanic eruption plumes. Kīlauea- East Rift Zone CamsRadiating out from the summit, Kīlauea has two rift zones stretching to the east and southwest. The east rift is historically the more active of the two, most recently erupting from January 1983 to August 2018. Webcam

Puʻuʻōʻō West Flank [PWcam]This image is from a research camera positioned on the northwest flank of Puʻuʻōʻō, looking southwest. Webcam
Puʻuʻōʻō South Flank [PScam]This image is from a temporary research camera positioned just south of Puʻuʻōʻō, looking north at the southern flank of the cone. Webcam
Puʻuʻōʻō East Flank [PEcam]This image is from a temporary research camera positioned northeast of Puʻuʻōʻō, on Puʻu Halulu, looking southwest toward the northeast flank of Puʻuʻōʻō. Mauna Loa CamsThe largest volcano on earth, Mauna Loa is comprised of a main summit caldera called Moku‘āweoweo and three rift zones to the northeast, northwest, and southwest. We are currently in the volcano's longest quiet period since written records have been kept, as it has not erupted since 1984. Read more about Mauna Loa. Webcam
Mokuʻāweoweo Caldera from the Northwest Rim [MLcam]This image is from a temporary research camera positioned on the north rim of Mokuʻāweoweo, the summit caldera of Mauna Loa volcano by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. If you look carefully around early morning or late evening, you may see a few thermal areas emitting steam. Webcam
Mokuʻāweoweo Caldera Thermal from the Northwest Rim [MTcam]This image is from a temporary thermal camera located on the north rim of the Mauna Loa summit caldera. The temperature scale is in degrees Celsius up to a maximum of 500 degrees (932 degrees Fahrenheit) for this camera model, and scales automatically based on the maximum and minimum temperatures on the caldera floor and not the whole frame, which sometimes results in the rim (bottom of image) looking saturated (white).

Mauna Loa Northeast Rift Zone from HVO Observation Tower [M1cam]This image is from a research camera positioned in the observation tower at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. The camera looks northwest toward the summit and Northeast Rift Zone of Mauna Loa. Webcam
Middle of Mauna Loa Southwest Rift Zone [M2cam]This image is from a research camera positioned on a cone in the Southwest Rift Zone of Mauna Loa in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The camera looks northeast (upslope), focusing on the middle part of the Southwest Rift Zone. The volcano's summit is at upper right. Webcam
Upper Part of Mauna Loa Southwest Rift Zone [M3cam]This image is from a research camera positioned on a cone on the Southwest Rift Zone of Mauna Loa in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The camera looks northeast (upslope), focusing on the upper part of the Southwest Rift Zone. The upper flank of Mauna Loa forms the skyline. Webcam
