Crater Rim Drive in Halema‘uma‘u being covered with lava
Detailed Description
During the 2018 summit collapse of Kīlauea, portions of Crater Rim Drive fell into Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Eruptions in Halemaʻumaʻu since 2018 have slowly filled in much of the collapsed area. Lava fountaining episodes during the ongoing episodic eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu have generated lava flows that are slowly covering the remaining section of road, as visible in these three images taken after episode 49, 50 and 51.
