The lava lake at the summit of Kilauea Volcano rose late this week with dramatic summit inflation, providing improved views of spattering from visitor overlooks in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. This photo was taken Thursday from the rim of Halemaumau Crater, an area that is closed to the public due to ongoing volcanic hazards, and shows spattering in the southeast corner of the lava lake. The main portion of spattering was about 10 yards high.
