Big Island of Hawaii Kilauea Caldera, Halema'uma'u Crater







Kilauea has been erupting for 30 years.
Halema'uma'u Crater lava lake (active since 2008) spilled over its rim.  Most recently part of the crater wall collapsed and fell into the lava lake.  This caused an explosion when damp rock hit the molten surface of the lake.
