Detailed Description

A line of spattering along the northwest lake margin. Note that the spatter is being ejected well above the level of the Halema‘uma‘u Crater floor, with occasional small bits landing on the rim. At the left end of the spattering, a piece of the thin, flexible crust on the lava lake is lifted and torn by a bubble burst.
