Summary

Description

NASA image acquired January 15, 2011

Over the past several weeks a pit within Halema’uma’u Crater (on the summit of Kilauea Volcano) has steadily emitted a plume of sulfur dioxide and other volcanic gases. 120 meters (390 feet) below the pit’s opening a lava pond rises and falls as magma moves underneath Kilauea. Sulfur dioxide emissions were 550 metric tons per day (1,200,000 pounds) on January 3rd, 2011, well above the daily average of 125 metric tons (280,000 pounds) from 2002–2006. Sulfur dioxide emissions at Kilauea peaked at about 2,000 metric tons (4,400,000 pounds) per day in March 2008, when the pit in Halema’uma’u Crater first opened.

Kilauea Caldera, Halema’uma’u Crater, and the volcanic plume are all visible in this natural-color satellite image. The image was acquired on January 15, 2011 by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) aboard Earth Observing-1 (EO-1).
