Detailed Description
In the time since our last overflight (March 24), a new collapse pit has formed in the western portion of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō Crater. This circular pit can be seen in the lower left portion of the photograph, and measures about 27 m (roughly 90 ft) in diameter. Numerous hot cracks were observed in this general area during previous visits on foot.
