The most recent eruptions of Haleakala--and the most likely location of
the next ones--did not occur in the summit basin, but at the southwest rift
zone located in the La Perouse Bay and Makena areas of Maui. These flows
were about 200 years ago. The (left) photo shows the bay and the uninhabited
island of Kaho'olawe offshore. The (right) photo shows where one of the
lava flows originated. Photos: Jon Hanauer
