The water at the bottom of Halema‘uma‘u, at Kīlauea's summit, continues to slowly rise. This morning, the southern portion of the crater was in the shadow, and the water looked similar to previous days. The water surface had a yellow-green color, with steaming distributed across the surface. (Public domain.)
