I would like to thank the HVO staff for all the interesting and valuable information they are providing regularly! Here are RESOURCES related to the 2018 Kilauea Lower East Rift Zone eruption and Summit Activity
Live Stream(s): USGS/HVO run two LIVE streams on YT: 1) Kīlauea Volcano — From Northeast Caldera Rim and 2) Halemaʻumaʻu Crater (has ended) Unfortunately, CivilBeat had to stop broadcasting their "lava live stream": The house where the camera was operating from lost power and had to be evacuated. You can check back for any changes in the live cam situation on their You Tube channel or their Twitter feed.
Hawaii Volcano WebCams The images in this page are updated abt. every 20 minutes, at exciting events maybe faster. - The notes of seconds/minutes above an image show the approx. auto-refresh time. - If there is a sun button on top of a webcam, on click, a clear weather image from that webcam will pop up to help you picture the lay of the land when the mountain is shrouded in dark clouds for days or weeks!

This aerial photo was taken on May 1, 2018. This photo, taken in July 2011, shows Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater, looking northwest. The gas plume from the vent at Kīlauea’s summit is in the background. The gentle slope of Mauna Loa volcano forms the skyline beyond.

O-IMG Puʻu ʻŌʻō Crater Thermal Camera from the North Rim [PTcam]	Thermal image (left): The temperature scale is in degrees Celsius up to a maximum of 500°C (932°F) for this camera model, and scales based on the maximum and minimum temperatures within the frame. Thick fume, image pixel size and other factors often result in image temperatures shown being lower than the actual surface temperatures.

Collapse of Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater floor on 5 March 2011 and 30 April 2018
Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater is situated on the east flank of Kilauea volcano (East Rift Zone), in an over 200 m high relatively young cone and is ~400 m wide. I have been lucky to be able to watch this amazing event in March 2011: - 05.03.2011: All lava that had been filling up the crater previously "disappeared" through a drain in the bottom (>200m deep) within a few hours. This was about the most stunning thing I had ever seen so far, especially when viewed as a time lapse video! (see USGS/HVO video to the right!) - In the following weeks the lava level rose gradually again as a lava lake. By spilling over the rims of that lake high levees grew around it. - July 2011: Constant over spilling and inflation from below built a cone within the crater, with the lake perched on top of it. The cone grew nearly as high as the crater rim and still flew over, i.e. the whole Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater floor was now covered and filled up with new lava. - 03.08.2011: The cone with the pearched lava lake in the middle collapsed leaving a crater floor full of a mix of hardened lava blocks and fluid hot lava. Lava started flowing out of Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater through a breach in the south-west crater rim, toward the coastal plains, which was also clearly visible on the webcams at night. Update 05.05.2018: A crater floor collapse of similar dimensions took place on 30 April 2018, followed a few days later by multiple-fissure eruptions down-rift. These began on May 03, with so far six outbreaks affecting residential areas and forests.	Video: Collapse of Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater floor on 5 March 2011

The advancing front of the June 27th lava flow is burning vegetation and sending smoke aloft in the left center of the image. [PGcam]	MOBILE 4 O-web Puʻu ʻŌʻō North Flank from the North Rim [PNcam]
