Beautiful morning at the summit of Kīlauea

Detailed Description

Kīlauea Volcano's lava lake within Halema‘uma‘u Crater rose steadily over the past day in concert with summit inflation. This morning, with the lake level at just 19 m (62 ft) below the summit vent rim, vigorous spattering on the lake surface was visible from the Jaggar Museum Overlook in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
