In the distance, the immense summit of Mauna Loa stretches across the horizon. Near the top lies Mokuʻāweoweo, the volcano's massive summit caldera, a geological depression formed through repeated episodes of volcanic activity and collapse.
Magma had been accumulating and pressurizing underground beneath the summit, causing the volcano to swell and experience increased earthquakes. It wasn't a visible lake of lava filling the caldera before the eruptio
November 27, 2022, around 11:30 p.m.: The eruption began inside Mokuʻāweoweo, Mauna Loa's summit caldera.
This is the only area view from 13,500 ft in the air high above Mauna Loa summit.
Nobody captured the caldera seen directly above this rift zone.
Once the Caldera is full up top it flow down towards a rift zone. Every eruption is much different than the others.
