Now we have driven back up to Jaggar Museum at the edge of Kilauea Caldera, and right next to Halema'uma'u Crater. The smode is from a pit within the crater. It looks white here, but as you will see in the following sequence of photos, the sunlight hides a spectacular view. Inside that pit, withing Halema'uma'u Crater, there is still active lava. Since you cannot look straight down into it, you cannot actually see the lava (see webcam at hvo.wr.usgs.gov/cams/panorama.php?cam=HMcam), it does "glow" in the steam/smoke. As the sun goes down, you can see more and more of the lava glow.
