Pu'u 'O'o eruption of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. This is number 25 of series of 100 photos and captions provided on a CDROM (DDS-80) by the U. S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

The low-level activity took place the day before episode 26 began.  A 42-day repose period, the longest 
since December 1983, preceded episode 26, the briefest (5 hours long) of the episodes of 1983-1984
