Altered southern wall of Kīlauea Caldera

Detailed Description

Wide angle view of the southern wall of Kīlauea caldera, where there was previously a sulfer rich and highly altered area. The collapse events of 2018 created this exposeure that is approximately 100 m (300 ft) tall, whereas before 2018, the altered area was only exposed for a couple of vertical meters (yards).
