Kilauea, a volcano on Hawaii's Big Island, erupted early Wednesday morning in a spectacular display.
“The lava this morning is all confined within ... the summit caldera. So plenty of room for it still to produce more without threatening any homes or infrastructure,” park spokesperson Jessica Ferracane told the AP. “So that’s the way we like our eruptions here.”
She also said park officials were expecting crowds of people to flock to park overlooks, where the large lake is visible. “Kilauea overlook was spectacular this morning," she said. “It was molten red lava. There’s several areas of pretty robust fountaining. It’s just really, really pretty.” The park website provides multiple tips for people wishing to view the eruption, such as arriving before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. local time to avoid the largest crowds and potentially full parking lots."Do NOT go into closed areas!" the park warns, noting that areas closer to the volcano may contain lethal volcanic fumes.
Hawaii is no stranger to active volcanos. Kilauea has repeatedly erupted over the past two decades.
