Kilauea Summit, 2018
Parts of KÄ«lauea's caldera floor are a jumble of down-dropped blocks and surface cracks on August 22, 2018. HVO field crews carefully hiked along Crater Rim Drive to verify the locations of USGS benchmarks (lower left), which will be used for additional geophysical work that will help document the recent summit changes. The view is to the northwest with one flank of Mauna Loa visible in the distance (upper right).
