Crowds of people flocked to the Big Island's Hawaii Volcanoes ɫtv Park, which offered safe views of the lava.
Scientists declared the eruption paused again Monday when it rapidly declined in the afternoon, the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said. Still, some lava continues to flow on the crater floor, which may continue for days as the lava cools, the observatory said, adding that scientists will continue to monitor the volcano.
On Tuesday afternoon, only small, faint pockets of red could be seen on the that showed bright bursts of lava on the eruption's first day.
The previous night, park rangers could still see lava through cracks on the hardened surface of the lava lake, which provided “still pretty good viewing,” said Jessica Ferracane, park spokesperson.
“Park visitation still robust,” she said in an email, adding that the parking lot was full Tuesday at the Kilauea Visitor Center.
Kilauea, Hawaii’s second largest volcano, erupted from September 2021 until last December. For about two weeks in December, Hawaii’s biggest volcano, , was also erupting on Hawaii’s Big Island.
