Here's the beast of a crater, as I said.
Some info on it:
Halemaʻumaʻu crater is a pit crater located within the much larger summit caldera, of Kīlauea, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The roughly circular crater floor is 770 metres (2,530 ft) x 900 metres (2,950 ft) and is 83 metres (270 ft) below the floor of Kīlauea caldera. Halemaʻumaʻu is home to Pele, Goddess of Hawaiian Volcanoes, according to the traditions of Hawaiian mythology.
It took us quite awhile to reach this place on our tour. We managed to sneak around the "normal" route and go behind the crater.
Enjoy.
