Title: Halema`uma`u Vent Rim Collapse (October 14, 2008)
Description:

This video, from October 14, 2008, shows two collapses of the rim of the informally-named Overlook vent and the subsequent emission of ash (see http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/timeline/ for links describing eruptive activity at the summit of Kilauea Volcano). These collapses were part of a sequence of collapses that occurred on October 14 and which culminated in an explosive eruption later in the afternoon that blasted tephra onto the Halema`uma`u crater rim.

The images that comprise this video were acquired by a webcam positioned on the rim of Halema`uma`u Crater about 85 meters (280 feet) above the Overlook vent. The image acquisition rate was 1 frame every 2 seconds, and the resulting video is played at 12 frames per second.
