Webcam Notes
2010 Jun 03 A new webcam was installed and a new photo sequence was initiated that includes all of the south wall and most of the floor of the crater when it is clear. This page now provides the total view with a combination of 8 photos. 2010 May 11 Early this morning, a small sliver of the north rim of Pu`u `O`o crater collapsed taking the POcam webcam with it. The panorama shown here was the last one acquired. We hope to replace that camera soon. Added new frame (L1) to capture the new gas vent on the east wall dimensions of crater are approximately 400 m long (left to right in webcam) and 250 m wide (straight ahead). The camera is operational 24/7 and faithfully records the dark of night if there is no incandescence. Winged insects occasionally take refuge on the glass in front of the camera. See the "eruption update" (link above) for the latest volcano information.

This panorama is a composite of eight images from a research camera positioned on the north rim of Puʻu ʻŌʻō's crater. The images update every 1 to 15 minutes, depending on the level of activity. At times, clouds and volcanic fume obscure visibility. The camera is subject to sporadic breakdown, and its remote location makes immediate repair impossible. Cameras can be where people should not. Puʻu ʻŌʻō is off-limits to the general public because of multiple and significant volcanic hazards.
