Kīlauea Volcano - South Halemaʻumaʻu Crater Live Camera

Live view from Halemaʻumaʻu crater from the southern rim of the caldera [V3cam]. This camera replaces the view of the original V3 livestreaming camera that was destroyed by lava fountaining during episode 38 on December 6, 2025; the view is permanently offset to the east of the original V3 view. This camera is a pan-tilt-zoom model and the view may change depending on activity. If your view of the livestream appears blurry, please try refreshing your browser.
