Description
Keanakako'i Crater. On the other side of this pit crater are the lava trees. At the present time, danger signs are posted and viewing is prohibited as high levels of sulfur dioxide are in the area. Hold your breath as everyone knows what sulfur smells like. Aloha and thank you for viewing

The grand photo after the lava trees helps put this into perspective of the massiveness of this crater. It is so hard to grasp the size unless you are there. However, through your great stories from earlier pictures you took, one gets the awe of this giant hole that was once Pele's fury. Well done!

Eww - Rotten eggs! Nice capture Errol - is it possible to walk across the crater or would that just be silly?

What an awesome view! I'm surprised to hear about the odor. Is that always there, even on craters that have been dormant that long, i.e. trees growing, or is this new activity meaning that there danger of a new eruption?

beachzz.....The crater is approx 35 m (114.829 ft ) deep today. When surveyed in 1886, the crater was nearly 4 times deeper (120 m) (393.700 ft) . An eruptive fissure opened at the base of the southwest wall of Kaenakako`i on July 19, 1974. rockstrider....It is possible to walk on the floors of this crater. CavalierLady.....The sulfur odor is always present in the area but an increase in sulfur dioxide is probably due to an active eruption several miles away. Thanks for asking... Aloha

Did someone strike a match? ... :) Love this shot, doesn't look like there is an easy way down and you probably really have to work up a sweat to get out... :) Excellent capture. Todd

looking in side this must have been something to stand in the present of power to move heave and earth at the same time if it blows. this is awl looking

Wonderful shot, Errol. The trees on the crater walls give a good indication of the size, but thanks for the numbers for verification. Too bad I missed this last year. Guess I'll just have to come back. :-)
