Today's view of Halema‘uma‘u and the water at the bottom of the crater is from a slightly different angle than previous photos. The main pond appears larger from this site because its entire perimeter can be seen. USGS photo by D. Swanson, 08-07-2019.

The main (larger) pond of water, first identified on July 25, is still isolated, but this telephoto view shows that only 3-6 m (about 10-20 ft) separate it from the other two, now coalesced, ponds. Measurements today indicate a possible increase in pond level of several tens of centimeters (up to about 12 inches) since yesterday morning. USGS photo by D. Swanson, 08-07-2019.
