US: Double Rainbow Appears Over Kilauea Volcano During Eruption Pause In Hawaii.

Hawaii, United States - May 20, 2026 A stunning aerial video captured on May 20, 2026, shows a breathtaking view of Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island during a temporary pause in the ongoing Halemaumau eruption. A vibrant full double rainbow stretches across the left side of the scene above the massive, steep-walled Halemaumau caldera. The crater floor below is covered with dark, rugged solidified lava flows. On the right side of the crater, white steam plumes rise from active vents and drift across the landscape. The footage was recorded from a high vantage point, likely from a helicopter, revealing the enormous scale of the summit caldera beneath a blue sky with scattered clouds. As of May 20, 2026, the eruption was in a temporary pause following the latest lava fountaining episode. Visible glow remained at the vents overnight while summit inflation continued. The rainbow likely formed from sunlight passing through mist created by the steam plumes after recent rain showers, creating a dramatic scene above the volcano.
