A significant eruption has occurred at Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes. The volcano began erupting briefly on Sunday night in a secluded area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and resumed activity on Monday night, according to the US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. By early Tuesday, eruptive activity had increased; however, officials confirmed there was no immediate danger to homes or infrastructure.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory cautioned that volcanic gas, known as "vog," could potentially impact downwind neighborhoods near the park. Despite the potential for vog, the eruption's location, more than six miles from the nearest road, renders it inaccessible for public viewing. This section of the park remains closed to visitors due to its remote wilderness nature.
In a Tuesday morning helicopter flyover, geologists observed fountaining lava fissures and active flows within the Napau Crater. Park officials have highlighted that while Kilauea and Mauna Loa are among the park's primary features, the current eruption's site is too isolated to pose a direct viewing opportunity for visitors.
