Lava lake overflows onto a down-dropped block within Halema‘uma‘u

The lava lake within Halema‘uma‘u, at Kīlauea summit, has slowly continued to rise over the past month. As the lake level rises, lava has flowed onto the lowest part of the lowest down-dropped block (right) from the 2018 Kīlauea summit collapse. This photo is looking to the west with the lava flow continuing to make its way higher up the down-dropped block (bottom center) at the eastern end of the lava lake. USGS photo by D. Downs.
