In 2018, Kīlauea Volcano experienced its largest caldera collapse in more than 200 years profoundly changing the landscape. We use a highly simplified cross section of a magma reservoir and the overlying caldera to look at the subterranean architecture of Kilauea, and to show how the massive outpouring of lava in 2018 caused the summit of the volcano to collapse.
