Volcano Vigil: Kīlauea episode 55

The webcam frames and the replay that the Volcano Vigil dashboard shows for Kīlauea's episode 55, from 2026-10-17T13:00:00Z to 2026-10-17T19:30:00Z (UTC). The dashboard's server downloads this dataset when it starts, because the USGS AshCam archive keeps frames for only about 31 days.

Automated, experimental reading of public webcams by Volcano Vigil. It does not replace official alerts or warnings. For the official status of Kīlauea, see USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO): https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea
