Detailed Description

A closer view of the spattering at the point of downwelling. From the position of the Halema‘uma‘u webcam at the visitor overlook, the spattering looks like it might be at the base of the crater wall. This photo shows that the spattering is actually 60-70 m (200-230 ft) out from the wall, toward the center of the pit.
