March 2, 2022 — Kīlauea summit damaged road
Detailed Description
A portion of Crater Rim Drive that was damaged during Kīlauea's 2018 summit collapse events was visible during a Hawaiian Volcano Observatory monitoring overflight on March 2, 2022. Crater Rim Drive used to go around Kīlauea summit caldera within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. During 2018, a large eruption of the lower East Rift Zone partially drained Kīlauea summit magma reservoir, causing parts of the summit to collapse and destroying portions of Crater Rim Drive.
