Lava surface in the Halema‘uma‘u Overlook vent returned to about 80 m

Detailed Description

After recovering from last week's DI event, the lava surface in the Halema‘uma‘u Overlook vent returned to about 80 m (260 ft) below the floor of Halema‘uma‘u Crater. The north/northwest rim of the vent (right side of photo) is still noticeably overhung, making future collapses very likely.
