This live feed looks toward Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, on the Island of Hawai'i. People watch it to follow the volcano's mood from a distance, whether it is a calm summit or a glowing vent in the dark. The page also shows local time and conditions so you can plan your view.

About the volcano

Kilauea is a shield volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, rising to about 1,100 metres above sea level. Its broad, gently sloping profile was built by countless lava flows over thousands of years. The summit caldera and the rift zones that run from it are the core of the island's volcanic landscape, and the surrounding terrain is a mix of old lava fields, steaming craters and rainforest.

What the camera shows

The title names the volcano itself, so the view is centred on the summit area rather than a town or harbour. Activity can vary from day to day, and the most interesting moments are often in the evening or at night, when any glow from the crater is easier to pick out. Clouds and volcanic gas can hide the summit for hours, so it is worth checking back at different times of day.

Practical notes

The summit area has a mild, humid climate with frequent showers, and temperatures are noticeably cooler than at the coast because of the altitude. Air quality can be affected by volcanic gas, so check current advisories before visiting. Nearby on the Big Island you can also watch Waikoloa and Mauna Kea - Subaru Telescope, and further afield Maui and Wailea-Makena.
