No, sorry Edge, from the top of Pu’u Huluhulu you can't see that far directly.. the rise created by the Makaopuhi crater / Kānenuiohamo cone structure (the cone/mound in the middle ground of your pic - the one covered in foliage). The eruption is taking place between that complex and the far cone in the background of your pic which is Puu Oo.

Here's a map from HVO's site.. with Makaopuhi crater / Kānenuiohamo cone seen (partially) on the left, and Nāpau crater on the right, and Puu Oo is still a mile further to the right than the area seen here..

The interesting thing to note is phase 1 of the Puu Oo eruption was also at this same location. In other words, this is the first sign of a possible reoccupying of the Puu Oo plumbing system..
