Description: From the USGS description: View is near Crater Rim Drive about 500 m from Halema`uma`u looking south. Lava blocks thrown from Halema`uma`u during a series of steam-driven explosions in 1924 litter the caldera floor, covering deposits of the Keanakako`i Ash Member erupted during much larger explosions that ended in A.D. 1790. The block in lower left is about 0.5 m in diameter. Photograph by S.R. Brantley on August 14, 1998
