USGS HVO 'K2cam' from Uekahuna Bluff, highest point on Kīlauea caldera's rim at ~4,009 ft. Elevated overlook showing the full Halemaʻumaʻu depression and lava lake depth. Above the clouds on clear mornings — dramatic wide view of the entire caldera.

USGS HVO 'KOcam' on Kīlauea's East Rift Zone near the Mauna Ulu area. Mauna Ulu last erupted 1969–1974, producing the iconic Chain of Craters Road lava flows. Watches the rift corridor for renewed fissure activity and degassing from the 50-year-old lava field.

USGS HVO 'KWcam' covering Kīlauea's summit — companion wide-angle to the V-series cameras. Shows overall caldera floor and rift zone horizon. Useful for tracking plume direction, eruption column height, and lava visible at the caldera rim.

USGS HVO camera at Kīlauea Iki, the smaller crater that drained and resolidified after a 1959 eruption. Watch steam vents rising from the hardened lava floor and hikers crossing the solidified lava lake. A striking demonstration of how fast Hawaiian volcanic surfaces are created and cool.

USGS HVO 'PEcam' east of Puʻu Pohaku on Kīlauea's summit rim. Monitors eruption activity on the eastern caldera wall and tracks lava lake level changes. Paired with PWcam to bracket the summit vent from both sides around the clock.

USGS HVO 'MUcam' on Mauna Ulu, a shield vent on Kīlauea's East Rift Zone active 1969–1974. Shows the barren lava landscape of the Chain of Craters area and any ongoing degassing from the vent. Accessible to hikers via Chain of Craters Road in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes NP.

USGS HVO 'PWcam' west of Puʻu Pohaku near Kīlauea caldera. Partner to PEcam; together they watch for fissure breakouts on both sides of the summit vent. Livestreamed continuously by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

USGS HVO 'S1cam' at the Sulfur Banks (Haʻakulamanu) on Kīlauea's caldera rim. Watch yellow sulfur deposits, steam venting, and colorful hydrothermal alteration of the volcanic rock. One of the few spots where volcanic gases are visible year-round, even between eruptions.

USGS HVO 'V1cam' on the west rim of Halemaʻumaʻu crater — the primary eruption-watch angle. Captures lava fountain activity and spattering directly below the crater wall during summit eruptions. First camera to show fissure breakouts on the western caldera wall.

USGS HVO 'V3cam' — south-facing pan-tilt-zoom camera on Kīlauea's Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Wide view of the crater rim and outer caldera; rotates to track active venting and lava flows in real time. Particularly useful for following vent migration during multi-day eruptions.

USGS HVO 'V2cam' on the east rim of Halemaʻumaʻu crater, Kīlauea's active summit vent. Looks across the full crater floor and lava lake — catches eruption columns and spattering from the far wall. Companion to V1cam for stereo coverage of the summit vent.

USGS HVO 'M3cam' on Mauna Loa's flanks — high-altitude monitoring above the cloud layer. The November 2022 eruption's dark lava flows are visible as fresh streaks on the older lava field. Summit rises to 13,679 ft; views above the trade-wind inversion on clear days.

USGS HVO 'M2cam' on Mauna Loa's upper flank at ~11,000 ft — Earth's most massive active volcano. High-altitude lava landscape; summit snow possible above 11,000 ft in winter. The 2022 eruption flows are visible as dark streaks on older pāhoehoe in the frame.

USGS HVO 'HLcam' monitoring Mauna Loa's Mokuʻāweoweo summit caldera. Earth's largest active volcano last erupted November–December 2022 — first summit eruption since 1984. Watches for renewed caldera activity and any smoke plumes from the northeast rift zone.

USGS HVO 'MDLcam' on Mauna Loa — mid-elevation monitoring of the volcano's 60-mile-long shield. Watches the summit area and Northeast Rift Zone for signs of renewed magmatic intrusion. Part of the continuous HVO surveillance network active since the observatory's 1912 founding.

USGS HVO 'MK2cam' looking at Mauna Loa from a Mauna Kea vantage. Unique cross-volcano perspective — Mauna Loa's 60-mile-long shield profile against the Pacific horizon. Shows the visual scale difference between the two highest island volcanoes on Earth.

USGS HVO 'MKcam' — Mauna Kea's view across the saddle to Mauna Loa. At 13,679 ft (Mauna Loa) and 13,796 ft (Mauna Kea), Hawaii's twin giants face each other in the frame. Both summits visible above the trade-wind cloud inversion in clear weather.

USGS HVO 'MLcam' watching Mauna Loa's Mokuʻāweoweo caldera from the summit area. During the 2022 eruption this camera captured 200-ft lava fountains and active caldera lava lakes. Now quiet — remains live and ready to document the next eruption cycle.

USGS HVO 'MSPcam' monitoring Mauna Loa's south flank and caldera approach at ~13,000 ft. Above the cloud line most days — watch sunrise turn lava fields gold and summit snowpack build in winter. Monitors the south caldera wall for ground deformation and magmatic unrest signals.

USGS Johnston Ridge Observatory webcam, 5 miles from Mt. St. Helens' 1980 eruption crater. Best close-up view of the active lava dome and the horseshoe-shaped blast zone. Watch the recovering forest and fallen-log landscape — 40+ years of volcanic succession visible.
