Steam Vents
These steam vents sit on the Kilauea Military Reserve in Hawaii County, a few miles from Volcano. Public access is listed as closed, the land designation being military. The record describes the vents as hot, with no figure attached. An image is on file.
Roadside, about 120 feet from the road, at around four thousand feet. Military land, closed to the public on file. The climate is wet, nearly eighty inches of rain a year, without snow, and the annual average is on the cool side.
Access is closed on record, so this is not a site to plan a visit around. Season is blank on file. No temperature or chemistry is recorded, and no road name either. No campground is listed.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.
