The eruption that re-started this morning at the summit of Kīlauea volcano continues this afternoon, with fountaining happening from the south vent as well as the north vent in Halemaʻumaʻu crater.
The park is very busy! Park rangers urge everyone to and stay safe:
🌋Check the park’s eruption viewing webpage for safety tips, air quality, best viewing areas, and more. https://www.nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/eruption-viewing.htm
🌋Expect crowds. Parking will be full at popular areas. The park is open 24 hours a day. Arrive after 9 p.m. or before sunrise to avoid the crowds. Bring a flashlight if you visit when it’s dark.
🌋Stay on trail! Stay out of closed areas. Avoid cliff edges and other hazardous terrain. Keep your children near you at all times.
🦆 Watch for nēnē. It is breeding season for the rare Hawaiian goose. Nēnē are often seen in parking lots and near roadways. Drive cautiously, never feed them and keep a distance of at least 60 feet (4 car lengths).
🚗 Drive safely. Drive the speed limit, heed park rangers and traffic control workers, and stay attentive.
🌋Admire with respect. Eruptions are powerful events as Pele, the elemental volcanic force, returns to Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Observe eruptions quietly to hear the sounds of lava.
