Collapsed of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater of Kilauea Crater, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Big Island Hawaii 774

view map

In early May 2018 the lava level in the Overlook Crater dropped over 700 feet and out of sight, resulting in explosions, earthquakes and large clouds of ash and toxic gas, causing closure of the Kīlauea summit area of the national park from May 10 to September 22. While the park visitor center and headquarters have reopened to the public, the crater is currently in a state of collapse that includes substantial portions of Kīlauea Caldera. The Jaggar Museum overlooking the crater remains closed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halema%CA%BBuma%CA%BBu_Crater
