June 24, 2026 — Lava flows encroach on damaged portion of Crater Rim Drive, Kīlauea summit
Detailed Description
Along the south portion of Halemaʻumaʻu crater, a portion of Crater Rim Drive that fell into the crater during the 2018 Kīlauea summit collapse is close to being covered with lava flows. The block that the road is located on is tilted, allowing lava flows to traverse up it like a ramp from the lower left part of the photo. Though tephra partially covers this area, the yellow center-line strip of the road remains visible. USGS photo by K. Mulliken.
