With the help of a powerful telephoto lens, HVO geologists confirmed today that there are two areas of ponded water at the bottom of Halema‘uma‘u. Using a laser range finder from their observation site, they were able to measure the two greenish ponds. The main pond is about 11 m (36 ft) in diameter, and the smaller pond (above and slightly left of the main pond) is 6-7 m (about 20-23 ft) in diameter. USGS photo by C. Parcheta, 08/03/2019.
