Eruptive history
William Ellis, a missionary and amateur ethnographer and geologist, published the first description of Halemaumau as it appeared in 1823.

In 1866 Mark Twain, an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer hiked to the Caldera floor.Here's his account of the lake of molten lava, which he found there:

The level of the lava lake varied over the decades and at times was only 30 metres (100 ft) below the crater rim. In 1924, explosive eruptions sent dust high into the atmosphere and doubled the diameter of the crater. Fractures allowed the lava lake to drain to the east until its surface was 366 metres (1,200 ft)  below the caldera floor. Subsequent eruptions have mostly refilled the crater.
