> Beginning in May, 2018, the lava lake that existed inside Halema‘uma‘u crater disappeared and lava flows from Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater have ceased. There is no molten lava or lava glow to see anywhere in or out of the park.
(I would still recommend visiting: the road that encircles the volcano is destroyed, and parts of it are hike-able, and the destruction is fun. And the caldera is even bigger now, and the sulfur vents are interesting, and the landscape is beautiful. And Hawaiʻi is just breathtaking.)
- krick 7y agoI wonder if there are some other places in the world I could visit reasonably expecting to see molten lava and all that dramatic looking stuff.
