Live Volcano Cam

The USGS has set up three cameras around the Pu'u O'o vent of Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawai'i. This is the one that has been erupting since the early 80s. I'm sure you have seen footage of spouting lava and sheets of magma seeping into the ocean. Although Pu'u O'o is not currently spurting streams of lava into the air, there are apparently cool incandescence that can be seen after dark which are supposed to be spectacular. Hawai'i Standard Time is five hours earlier than on the east and two hours earlier than on the west coast. So, check the cam out late at night or first thing when you get into work.
