Description
Halema'Uma'U Crater, within the Kilauea Caldera, erupted in 2014. It continues to vent steam from the lava lake that has receded from its high point during the major event. However, in this photo, a cloud of steam suddenly exploded from the crater, surprising all who were watching. A few minutes later my sister-in-law Caroline, checked her earthquake app and found that at the time of this event there was a 2.7 magnitude earthquake within a couple of kilometers of us. The earthquake probably caused a portion of the crater wall to collapse causing the cloud of steam.
