Hawaiʻi changes by the hour and by the shore. The North Shore can be flat at dawn and firing by lunch; the summit of Haleakalā can be socked in while the coast bakes; Kīlauea can light up overnight. These cams let you see it for yourself in real time. The surf and beach streams below play right on this page, and the USGS volcano cams update automatically when a fresh image is available.
