At 11:59 a.m., A U.S. Geological Survey web camera recorded a rockfall from the south wall of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater as it triggered a small explosive event in the summit lava lake at 11:59 a.m. Monday. The explosion threw spatter (fragments of molten lava) onto the rim of the crater, mostly to the west of the former visitor overlook. This area has been closed to the public since 2008 due to ongoing volcanic hazards.
