The crater is currently active, containing a lava lake. On April 24, 2015 molten lava in the vent, known as the Overlook Crater, became directly visible for the first time from the Jaggar Museum overlook at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory when the lava rose to an all-time high level since the Overlook Crater first opened. A few days later, on April 29, the lava started spilling over the rim of the Overlook Crater and onto the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater. The lava lake is not accessible to see but on a clear night you can easily see the LAVA glow and it's beautiful! I was spell bound in fact! If you are lucky you can see the lava glow AND the stars!!! You need a clear sky, no rain, and loafs of patience. Please go ready with warm clothes and preferably ear muffs as it gets windy. The best part is that is very easily accessible by car and close to the parking lot.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/170226/5e189ef1-096e-4b3d-bcc8-8e4e170e5422.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![🆒🆒👌👌🌴🌴](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/11872/82a7057b-d5ae-4f8c-82c8-299ed4e8c996.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![One of the most incredible things we have ever felt or seen.
