Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park Opens After a Four-Month Closure – With No Lava in Sight
Since Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted in May, covering the surrounding area in lava, massive sections of the park have been closed off to visitors. Now, for the first time in four months, Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park is open to the public, and people can get a little closer to the volcano that wreaked so much havoc on the island. Frequent visitors to the park might find the geography a bit different, however. One of the area’s most popular attractions, a lake of lava on the volcano’s summit with a radiant red glow, is now completely gone following months of volcanic activity.
