ALOHA! Pele is awake!!! 🤙

And as an FYI - this will not affect your vacation to any of the Hawaiian Islands - they are safe to visit (you won't have lava on Waikiki Beach, or get ashes in your hair on Maui) ;) 🥰

A new eruption at the summit of Kīlauea volcano is drawing thousands of visitors to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park eager to see new erupting lava by day and the lava glow after dark. This new eruption is viewable from almost all open areas around the caldera.
While the park remains open 24 hours a day, some areas may close to protect breeding and nesting nēnē. While an eruption is an exciting experience, keep in mind you are observing a sacred event. The summit of Kīlauea volcano is a wahi kapu (sacred landscape) surrounded with storied places and a delicate ecosystem.
The public is reminded to stay safe and help protect park resources by following these precautions:

🌋 Volcanic eruptions can be hazardous and change at any time. Stay on marked trails and overlooks and avoid earth cracks and cliff edges.

🚫 Do not enter closed areas.

💨 Hazardous volcanic gases are billowing out the crater and present a danger to everyone, especially people with heart or respiratory problems, infants, young children and pregnant women. Check the park air alert web page before and during your visit.

🚩 Slow down and drive safely. Expect long waits for parking spaces at popular vantage points like Uēkahuna (formerly the Jaggar Museum) and Devastation Trail parking area.

🐣 Do your part to help protect nēnē by keeping your distance, at least four car lengths away, and never feed nēnē or wildlife. Handouts make nēnē seek out people and cars, putting them in great danger.

🥶 At 4,000 feet, the summit of Kīlauea can be chilly at any time. Bring a rain jacket, wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Bring a flashlight if visiting at night.

So what can visitors expect to see? It depends on when they arrive, and the weather. In the Dark. A magnificent reddish orange glow fills the dark sky. Lava flows have covered much of Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor.

The best eruption viewpoints day or night are along Crater Rim Trail, and include Uēkahuna, Kīlauea Overlook, Wahinekapu (Steaming Bluff), Kūpinaʻi Pali (Waldron Ledge), behind Volcano House, Keanakākoʻi and other overlooks.

Do you dream of a Winter Wonderland?

What about a sleigh ride in Finland? (I'm serious)

Climb onboard a wooden sleigh, wrap yourself in blankets, and venture into the Arctic forest. The reindeer will take you to the forests covered in sparkling white, and you can enjoy the spectacular sights of the Lappish untouched wilderness as you snuggle on the warm sleigh.

Listen to the soothing, gentle sound of your reindeer softly stepping on the powdery snow as your sleigh glide across the fairy-tale like landscapes. Take an opportunity to try leading the reindeer, and obtain a reindeer sleigh driving license for the memory of your trip. After returning from the journey, the reindeer herder will tell you everything about reindeer and their life as you refresh and warm yourself with some steaming drink and gingerbread.

If you can dream it, I can help you do it
