>2 billion gallons of lava (10 million cubic meters), enough to cover 33 acres (13 hectares).
Bad math. You cannot convert volume to area. They probably meant the crater is 33 acres at the lava surface.

"You cannot convert volume to area>" Yes you can. Haven't you heard of the holographic principle?

Volume divided by area equals depth
10e6m^3 / 13ha = 77m
77m average depth is reasonably deep
