In 2018, a volcanic cone appeared in the middle of a populated neighborhood, going on to discuss widespread destruction. Today, 7 years later, I stand on the peak of this very cone which is now known as Ahuʻailāʻau. This 170 foot or 52 meter high cinder cone erupted nearly a cubic kilometer of lava in Hawaii across an approximately 3 month long timespan. I viewed this private feature on a paid tour which I highly recommend.
