No major changes were observed at the water pond in Halema‘uma‘u during this morning's visit. The water surface continues to slowly rise, as shown by comparing the waterline against rocks in photos from yesterday and today. (Public domain.)
Taken just a few minutes after the photo above, but with the surface steaming slightly shifted and with a different exposure, the color variations on the water surface are more clear. (Public domain.)
This photo shows the color variation in the eastern portion of the pond, with a sharp boundary between yellow and greenish-blue areas. (Public domain.)
