Detailed Description

Portions of Crater Rim Drive are visible in three locations within this photo, which is angled looking north. Prior to 2018, Crater Rim Drive used to cross the southwest portion of Kīlauea Caldera. The collapse events of 2018 made the road impassable, as parts became severely damaged due to earthquakes, or completely collapsed. In the bottom half of this photo, fragments of the road are visible in the left center, the center of the image just below the lake, and the bottom right corner. USGS photo by K. Mulliken.
