August 6, 2025 — sinkhole at the summit of Kīlauea
Detailed Description
On the south rim of Halemaʻumaʻu, new sink holes in ash and tephra that blankets the ground in this area were observed following episode 30 of the Kīlauea summit eruption on August 6. The sinkholes formed due to underlying cracks that opened as a result of the new fissure in the south wall of the caldera. USGS photo by M. Patrick.
