Halema‘uma‘u lava lake exceptionally high

 

Kīlauea's summit lava lake rose to within about 5 m (16 ft) of the floor of Halema‘uma‘u Crater this morning, before dropping back down slightly with the onset of spattering. This view, taken from the east edge of Halema‘uma‘u, shows spattering at the south corner of the lava lake.
Zoomed in view of the spattering at the south edge of the lava lake. Note the black high-lava mark from this morning on the wall just behind the spattering.
