The lava stream was covered in a thin, flexible crust and was moving at a very slow velocity. Patrick, April 13, This view from the south rim of Halema'uma'u shows the perched lava lake, supplied by lava from the western fissure upper right portion of photo.
The levee surrounding the active lava lake is up to about 5 m 16 ft high. The pond has developed a subtle levee on its south margin below the center of the photo.

While uplift related to post-collapse inflation of the summit reservoir has been occurring since March of , rates have been steadily increasing in recent months and are currently higher than they have been since the end of the eruption.
The injection resulted in about 8 cm 3 inches of uplift of the caldera floor, and modeling suggests that it represented 0. Whereas this type of seismicity was observed on average once every few weeks following the eruption, rates have increased to over a dozen in the past several days. Web Tools.

Summit Observations: Summit tiltmeters recorded overall gradual deflation over the past 24 hrs, with a transition to slight inflation beginning around a. Volcanic tremor associated with the eruption—as recorded by nearby seismometers— has been steady over the past 24 hrs.
A flurry of small-magnitude earthquakes recorded at the summit over the past week has diminished but is ongoing. The surface of the lava lake has been active since that time in the western side of the crater, with lava ooze-outs along the margins of the crusted-over eastern side of the lake. The lake has seen a total rise of about 70 meters feet since lava emerged on September 29, Measurements on December 30, , indicated that the total lava volume effused since the beginning of the eruption was approximately 40 million cubic meters Therefore, high levels of volcanic gas are the primary hazard of concern, as this hazard can have far-reaching effects down-wind.
