Kīlauea summit

Detailed Description

This telephoto image, looking across Kīlauea's summit from the northeast rim of the caldera, shows rubble dislodged from a cliff just north of the South Sulphur Bank, with the 1974 gully between. With such rubble, it is no wonder that dust clouds were so prominent in this area after yesterday's collapse event.
