Kīlauea Caldera Webcam Notes

This panorama is a composite of three images from a temporary research camera positioned in the observation tower at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. The camera is looking SSE towards the vent, 1.9 km (1.2 miles) the webcam. For scale, Halemaʻumaʻu crater is approximately 100 m (330 ft) deep.

Disclaimer

The webcams are operational 24/7 and faithfully record the dark of night if there are no sources of incandescence or other lights. Thermal webcams record heat rather than light and get better views through volcanic gas. At times, clouds and rain obscure visibility. The cameras are subject to sporadic breakdown, and may not be repaired immediately. The cameras are observing an area that is off-limits to the general public because of significant volcanic hazards.
