2019-2020 Summit Water at Kīlauea
Ponded water first appeared at the bottom of Halema‘uma‘u crater at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano in late July 2019. The pond slowly deepened until December 20, 2020, when an eruption from the crater wall sent lava pouring into the lake, which caused it to boil off.
