HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK – The lava lake within Halemaʻumaʻu Crater at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano is once again partially within view of the public.

This morning, with the lake level was only 62 feet below the summit vent rim, and “vigorous spattering on the lake surface was visible from the Jaggar Museum Overlook in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park”.
