At the summit of KÄ«lauea, the weather cleared, but inflation turned to deflation and the lava lake level dropped, so the spattering that had been visible from overlooks in HawaiÊ»i Volcanoes National Park the past two days is no longer visible today. But, it was a beautiful day to view HalemaÊ»umaÊ»u Crater from the Jaggar Museum Overlook! Although the lava lake surface was 32 m (105 ft) below the vent rim this morning, it’s still likely that an orange glow from incandescent lava deep within the summit vent will be visible after dark.
