March 15, 2022 — Kīlauea arch of lava
Detailed Description
This 8 meter (26 feet) tall arch of lava was left behind during a lull in eruptive activity within Halema‘uma‘u crater, at Kīlauea's summit. This feature is located in the spillway that connects the vent of Halema‘uma‘u to the lava lake. HVO field crews note that there was no lava actively flowing through the spillway, although there were several re-surfacing events that occurred on the stagnant lake surface. USGS photo by L.
