Kanehekili Fluctus is a lava flow field on Jupiter's moon, Io.

[1] The Kanehekili and Janus Patera region are of interest because there are indications that it contains an active, overturning lava lake.

Based on thermal emission data, this area is almost identical to the Pele region which is believed to be the site of an active, overturning lava lake.

These two regions are the only sites where thermal emissions are identical to terrestrial active, overturning lava lakes, and this feature makes it a high priority target for a future space craft mission.

The darkest and youngest area of the fluctus is about 16,500 square kilometres (6,400 sq mi).
