Halema‘uma‘u water pond on September 2

During today's observations of the water in Halema‘uma‘u, steam around the pond precluded definitive diameter measurements, but the pond level appeared higher than yesterday (note the increased submergence of rocks on the left side of the pond between September 1 and 2). Based on attempted measurements today, as well as measurements the past two days, estimated pond diameters are now around 90 m (295 ft) east-west and 44-45 m (144-148 ft) north-south.
