Abstract

A comparison, with map and cross sections, of Halemaumau in July 1888 and August 1892. Between July 1888 and March 1891, the broad dome in the caldera was raised 60 ft by extensive overflows from the lava lake. In August 1892, Halemaumau contained a nearly flat floor about 260 ft below its rim, with the lava lake elevated in a narrow well about 40 ft above the surrounding floor. Dodge estimates the depth to Kilauea caldera floor following collapses in 1886 and 1891 to be 900 ft and 750-800 ft, respectively, below the Volcano House benchmark.
