Mt. Kilauea is the world’s most active volcano. It sits atop the Hawaii Hotspot in the central Pacific Ocean and had a decades-long eruption from 1983 to 2018. Eruptive activity started again in December 2020 and continued into 2021. Kilauea lavas are basaltic in composition, but the physical appearance of Kilauea’s output varies tremendously. Many of Kilauea’s eruptions occurred along its East Rift Zone, a fracture system extending ~eastward from the summit vent area. Seen here is a lava lake at the summit of Kilauea Volcano in March 2021. Two spatter cones occur next to the lava lake's margin. Lava that is sourced from the summits or the bases of the spatter cones drains into the lake.

Locality: Halemaumau Crater, southwestern corner of Kilauea Crater (Kilauea Caldera), southeastern Hawaii, central Pacific Basin
