Detailed Description
Kīlauea's August 1968 eruption began in Hi‘iaka Crater but soon migrated down the northern part of the volcano's east rift zone. A month after the eruption ended, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists investigated the aftermath of a still-fuming fissure that erupted in dense forest about 5 km (3 mi) northeast of the crater.
