The station recording this pattern of seismicity was called Yellow Rock (YEL), which was approximately 1 km north of the 2004-2008 vent. YEL was removed in 2007 before the advancing Crater Glacier reached it. The YEL site is now under a hundred or so feet of ice.

Embayment of lava delta shows result of collapse. The initial collapse was large enough to send waves washing over much of the east half of the delta, because visibility was completely lost for almost 20 minutes, due to a steam white-out. Note rocky debris hurled by the waves onto the delta surface in foreground.

Caught by a time-lapse camera, collapse of East Lae‘apuki lava delta in the early morning hours of August 27, 2005, generated waves that swept large lava fragments onto the delta. Daylight revealed boulders as large as 1 m (3 ft) in diameter on the surviving delta surface directly beneath the camera.
