Detailed Description
On August 18, USGS scientists visited the rim of Halemaʻumaʻu crater at the summit of Kīlauea volcano to view the north vent. The goal of the observation was to confirm if lava was moving up inside the vent. While perched lava was not observed, lava spatter was visible intermittently during gas pistoning events.
