For the first time, they were able to see a sloshing lava lake in that newly opened vent in Halemaumau Crater. The scientists had to hover above the crater in a helicopter to see the magnificent sight. The lava lake is estimated to be 160 feet in diameter and 330 feet below the vent rim. The new vent opened back in March. For more information, visit this site: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/pressreleases/pr09_05_08.html |
