Activity within Kīlauea’s summit crater appears to have normalized, with its eruption rate returning to the long-term trend, complete with fluctuations in lava level within the active lake. This remains a great time for public viewing, continuing a long period of no increased volcanic threat to people. Most of the magma coming from depth continues […]
