Halema‘uma‘u water pond on August 14

The pond continues to rise and widen. The pond was milky green in sunlight, with little steam and no agitation of the water surface during HVO's observations. Laser rangefinder measurements indicate that the north-south diameter of the pond, perpendicular to the line of sight from HVO's observation site, is 32 m (about 105 ft), and the east-west diameter, along the line of sight, is 71 m (about 233 ft).
