Kīlauea Iki ("Little Kilauea") is a volcanic crater next to the main summit caldera of Kīlauea on the island of Hawaiʻi in the Hawaiian Islands. Kīlauea Iki is a popular hiking destination within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Shaped like a pit, the crater existed prior to its most recent eruption, which occurred from November 14, to December 19,1959. This eruption was notable for several unique phenomena, including the formation of a large lava lake, lava rapids, waves, a lava whirlpool, and a lava fountain whose height set a record in Hawaii. Observers also recorded a two-way circulation of lava between the magma chamber and the surface.
