Kilauea Eruption 2018
Collapse of KÄ«lauea's caldera floor has exposed South Sulphur Bank, prominent in the mid-19th century but covered as newer lava flows filled the caldera. The flat top of the white deposit shows how high the caldera fill reached. As the caldera floor dropped in mid-June 2018, South Sulphur Bank was again exposed. The height of the bank, now more than 65 m (213 ft), increases about m (9 ft) with each collapse event at KÄ«lauea's summit. On the caldera floor, white patches lie along spatter ramparts formed in 1971 and 1974.
