One of the things I’ve never understood is why the park or the county never reach out to the people who have spent thousands of hours in the field, getting people to and from the lava, assessing the safety of the lava in the field, and having their reputations and the lives of their clients depend on their expertise. This was in the midst of one of the 16 mile round trips at the end of the 61G flow…. I’d like to see anyone that works for the people who get to determine if it’s safe pull this off… I understand that’s not what they do, but if that’s the case then why do they get to determine if it’s safe for others or not?
Pausing for Pele🌋 What will she do next? This is where it gets interesting❤️🔥
The Eruption of Kilauea is on in the Napau crater on the Middle East rift of the Volcano.
The Park has reopened The Chain of Craters road and if the eruption continues I would imagine it’s only a matter of time until we can offer lava tours again…
The safest, most professional lava tours in the world.
Please do the right thing Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and when safe, provide the public with all of the proper information about the hazards so they can make good choices about going to the eruption.
As with all eruptions in Hawaii, this could be short-lived or it could last decades only time will tell.
 I have faith they will eventually do what is right live up to the mission statement of the park and allow people access to the lava again…🌋
Pictured is a recent screenshot from the eruption of lava Falls coming out of the west vent into Napau crater.
And the volcanic tremor that picked up just as Hawaii volcanoes national Park was reopening chain of craters Road.
Coming into focus…slow flow🌋
When the Volume is So large it appears to be in slow motion…😳🌋
