Witness the Dynamics of Kīlauea's Heart

This webcam provides a compelling, real-time window into Halema'uma'u crater, the active heart of Kīlauea Volcano within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. You can observe the ever-changing volcanic landscape, from the vast caldera floor to the dramatic crater walls. Depending on current activity, the view may feature lava lakes, incandescent vents, or the powerful eruption of lava fountains, offering a raw glimpse into Earth's geological forces.

Beyond the immediate volcanic activity, the live feed showcases the rugged beauty of this unique environment.
