This is a stark reminder that the earth is about constant change. Everything under the earth, everything on the earth, and everything above the earth is in motion and chamge. This is life.
Wrong. This is a stark remember that Jesus is coming back SOON. He warned us about these things. HE IS COMING. Judgement is coming, repent, God loves you but we have to repent and leave sin behind us.
And everyone who does not go to church and worship god, Will not be saved by god? Even if they are good people. What a great god he is.. He is blackmailing people.
neil A Have you ever lied, stolen, hated, lusted, killed? According to the bible everyone falls short of the glory of God. Which is why Jesus died on the cross in the first place, for the sin of the world. In a court of law, even if you're guilty and someone pays your fine. The judge can dismiss your case, even though you're guilty. That's what Jesus did on the cross, he took our punishment onto himself and paid our fine. All you have to do is acknowledge your sins and repent. Then transfer your trust in your "goodness" on to the savior, if you want your case to be paid and dismissed. Like you said "what a great God he is". A good judge wouldn't be good, if he let Hitler off the hook because he donated to charity after the Holocaust and started doing "good". In a court of law, a good judge is still going to serve justice.
Wow. Maybe in a few years a Jagger 2.0 Museum can be built once things stabilize. But the fact the building is cracking and starting to slip into the crater is humbling. Behold the power of nature! The building my fall, but not peoples memories.
Hawaii is about big nature. Volcano, the sea, weather...I live about 7 miles from Kilauea summit / Helemaumau crater and trips into the park at all hours were common for us. I have many pics and vids.... the only thing to depend on is change...
So sad I’ve been there so many. Many times I can’t count since 1975 -2016 I will miss not being able to visit Aloha Nui Loa to Madam Pele for letting me experience your awesome Landscapes
Friends, for many of us who never had the visits that you have had. If you have videos of what used to be, PLEASE SHARE THEM HERE ON UA-cam ? PLEASE....I recently watched videos of VacationLand Etc. Of what it used to look like. WOW !!!😵😲😱 Fantastic so glad neighbors put it out there for others to see. Thankyou soooo much, what s blessing you know in this manner, it really isnt gone.....
Excellent update I enjoyed my visit there back in 1996. This area has been volcanic for eons so it's not a big surprise that it's active again. Enjoy what you can cause you never know!!! Aloha and mahalo pele
Thank your for this update. A relative moved there a few years ago. Was looking forward to visiting him and the HVO. So sad and amazing at the same time.
My dream to visit this gorgeous Island was realized last September thanks to a Costco deal. It is the most gorgeous place that I hope to return to someday. We pray for your safety, strength and restoration.
The fact the unground calddron has emptied out and moved tells me that it will never be anything but a hole in the ground that will eventually fill with water and mabe become the largest lake. Dont expect that for another 100 plus years. There are other things to see. My guess is that will end up sliding into the crater as well. That whole area is still in danger of slipping into the ocean. People keep saying no but those continued earthquakes mean something is happening, and its not little.
I count myself as lucky to have been able to visit the Jaggar Museum a few years back. It was so very much informative for those of us whom don't - didn't know anything about volcanos!!! But it's great to know that all that amazing stuffs inside has been saved.
So saddening. Just glad that I was able to enjoy that view from the Jaggar Museum many times. Hoping and looking forward to a day in the near future when we can all return to the summit area and it be safe to walk around and enjoy like we used to.
Yes, Space Ship/Mother Earth has been moving on - changing for over 4.5 Billion years. She sure is not gonna stop for me or you now just because we are here................
Been there in October 2016. Long story short: impulsive holiday idea and fell in love with the park. The realization that all will be different the next time I'll be there makes me sad, but at the same time it's so intriguing.
The Earth is ever changing & when mother nature's fury comes calling, sometimes all you have to do is just sit back and let her do her work. Hawaiian volcanoes are one of those things that no matter how advanced our technology gets, there is nothing manmade that stops lava flows. They just destroy everything. You have to give a small amount of respect to the people of Hawaii because they are surrounded by danger everyday and they've learned to expect it and respect when it happens.
This truly sad, for many of us who live near Hilo, it was a unique place where we could get items that were teaching items for young members of our families, who would probably never get over here. We saw Chain of Craters get closed off, where we used to be able to drive down to the trails. Hopefully, they will open another building to serve a very similar purpose.
Thank you Lady Kiri for your sentiments. -My wife and I just dined at Volcano house celebrating her birthday just before this started, hopefully we won't lose much more. -Aloha
Big Island is great, even ignoring Volcano - Kohala coast, mmmmm-luv-luv.... ranch country, Hilo, Kona coast (can get kinda voggy, esp. now, but great to visit, snorkel, historical, arts & coffee up Holualoa luv-luv), all the rainforest north coast area... maybe can take boat from Hilo even, to see the water-entry, so even you got volcano in there! Big Island sooo worth it!
So grateful to have been there “before”. Even so many years ago it was deemed as ‘a future event’. Standing near the rim was incredible, but now, a bit unrealistic. ❤️ Hawaii xoxo
It was closed when I visited in 2012 but it didn't matter, went on a helicopter ride, saw the lava and the drive to volcano from hilo itself was a spectacle. I'd love to go back some day.
Its sad, but nature does have its right of way. That Kilauea gave everyone close to a century of up close and personal exploration is really a wonderful legacy and as they said, who knows what it will end up providing this time around when its decided to settle down, maybe for another few decades. In some ways this is a learning experience, that next museum might be better off not on the edge of the caldera.
Pam, less than 15 years after the deadly explosion of Mt St Helens there was a new museum looking toward the crater. That was replaced a few years later, after new roads were built, by an even better building on the ridge named for the geologist who died there. It might take 2 or 3 decades, but I suspect Kīlauea will have new access roads and park buildings as soon as it is safe and funding is found.
We were fortunate to visit Jagger about 6 years ago and watch the glow over the crater as the sun set. We also went in a helicopter and saw the black lava fields and the lava lake in Puhu Oho ( sorry for my spelling) just days before its eruption. It has been fascinating to watch the activity over the last six weeks. We are sorry for so many peoples’ loss but thankful for their safety.
Small reminder to those who think this is sad, things may change but they never truly disappear. Be Appreciative of what we have, be Thankful of what we’ve had and Anticipate with Joy at what may be.
I was just on Big I, Kona and Waikoloa, and there is not a hint of vog or problems. Make sure you go to Hawaii and support their hospitality industry. What an amazing time I had!
We feel lucky to have been at Jagger on 4-20-18, and saw the beginning effects of this eruption, we saw the small pockets of visible molten lava that started to move around just days before the large collapse. Luckily we took a lot of pictures that day as it appears things will be forever changed.
I just checked their website, it’s closed just like everything else in the park. My guess is that there may be minor structural damage but it is much further away from the crater compared to Jaggar so is likely to be in less danger.
Better to remove the collection than to lose it when the building falls into the creator. We may never return to that building, but we can build a new building. The lava is destroying homes and tidal pools but it is adding land to the Island, and new tidal pools will form, perhaps better and more beautiful than Kapoho Bay ever was.
This customer I had lost his job at the park, he just took his vacation right before the fissures and now regrets it saying he spent some dollars goin to Europe goin on his dream vacation. Kinda sad hearing him say he wouldn’t gone on his dream vacation just to have money to help him survive during unemployment.
My partner and I are hoping the park will be open in August. We have been planning our hawaii trip for over a year now. The volcano is on our list of things to experience!
She had to be cautious with her statement there because St. Lucia has the World's ONLY Drive-In Volcano...and it is still dormant and you can have a bath in its Sulphur Springs. I still wonder what she means by " Quote, un-quote, drive-through volcano" ...because you can drive in to ours and through it too.
We were there literally at Jaggar on may 4th when the 6.9 struck and all this at the summit started. They literally closed the park as we were driving out of the park.
The volcano started erupting shortly before me and my family's vacation in Hawaii was scheduled to begin. As time went on, they closed the park and my worst fears were realized. It was the one thing I was most looking forward to doing and the opportunity was taken away in the most untimely and unfair way possible. Money doesn't grow on trees and I will most likely not be returning to Hawaii for years. I can't decide if I should be disappointed or infuriated. I might as well be both. Whoever visited HVNP in the past was luckier than I'll ever be. You all were able to witness the crater up close, while all I can do is observe it on a computer screen. If that's not a valid reason for someone to be seriously upset then I don't know what is.
All the time people spend there they're in danger of an earthquake sending the whole thing into the crater, Saving the contents is one thing, dismantling a building something else again.
We have now an even more spectacular lava outbreak. Tourists can go on the Lava boats, see it from all sorts of places like mountain view or a helicopter flight. There will be a viewing area hopefully being constructed very soon.
Who writes the text for UA-cam? The woman in this video is subtitled (and miss quoted numerous times) while the reporter stumbles and fumbles over words but he has none
I live fairly close to a super volcano -Mt Rainier. When it blows there will be a huge lahar that will take out the Puyallup Valley. Fortunately I am on much higher ground so I don't have to fear the lahar. Many of the people in the valley won't be able to escape. Human deaths in the area will probably be in the tens of thousands
We talk about “how old” this museum is and how it is part of so many lives thru the years. The whole time humans have been on this “green” Earth doesn’t even register on the geologic clock of Earth’s existence. We think we know so much based on our few short years here. We don’t know squat about this hunk of rock floating thru space.
Now you can enjoy the Great Leilani Lava River, and marvel at MT. Leilani possibly a new and distinct volcano. USGS will be arguing for years over that perception. All of island volcano's started from the same hot spot so why not.
It’s a vent on the rift zone of Kīlauea and shares the same magma chamber of the summit, not a different volcano. That’s not how these volcanoes are formed
Mauna is mountain in Hawaiian terms. This is not a hill. I have tried to convert some of the names to English and I thought there could be improvement on more accurate names. All I can say is there are volcanic features and names for places that are destroyed and will never come back. While new volcanic features are being made.
Do not mourn the Park or Building... save the exhibits.... return the land to it's original founder and rejoice the spirit of Jagger in something more than it's last iteration.... Jagger 2.0 ...but let the Native Population do it right this time !!
We were there 1 year ago and camped out at the close by campground just outside the gate down the road a couple miles some nights the sky would be bright from the lava lake....not much reason to be there without the lava maybe Leilani estates will be the new park....
The crater collapse is feeding the lava growth down below which is then spewed out from the other fissures, is that even possible. All those material has to go some where.
So what's the update on the USGS wanting to fill the crater with water to cool the magma chamber below it ? Is that still an idea i just wanted to know how they expect to carry billions of gallons of water from the ocean to it.
I understand its development over the last 100 years due to complacency, but how can anyone move back there and redevelop the area now? Would you build your house on an iceberg? Of course not. Then why would you build it on a volcano?
Would you build in a place that got yearly hurricanes, including flooding and destruction of houses? Would anyone build in a place subject to Earthquakes? Would anyone build in tornado alley? How about a place with frequent wildfires. Oh wait, we do. We don't tell all the people in FL to stop living there due to all the hurricanes and destruction, but they suffer more frequently as people on HI. Same with people in the midwest, CA, and many, many other places.
LardGreystoke everything in nature is connected. one supporting the other. one imbalance causes a reaction. have no doubt it will be fine. man on the other hand are only children of it. mans ignorance , and imbalance gets cleaned up. which drives man to grow. 💝
I can understand closing the current buildings, but viewing areas should be open as well as for the vent. The government control and filtering of the public's access and information is a bad trend I'm seeing.
Pele, or Mother Nature, or science, or God - however the F u wanna classify the source of this force - it truly has an amazing way of creating while destroying, simultaneously. I’m from there, live there for the first 20 years of my life, been gone for a little over 18 years, but have always enjoyed and appreciated that park and everything within. Although I feel sad when thinking about how I’ll never be able to enjoy new memories made there at Jagger Museum, I am grateful for the experiences that I’ve already had there. In due time, humans will make more time to find another place to build, to educate any and all who are willing to learn. Something to look forward to, at least. But for right NOW, in the present moment, acceptance is key, & being at peace w/whatever we’re dealt. Aloha a hui hou Jagger, it’s been a blast!
I was there in 2002 Incredible experience We had lunch at the Jagger museum walked through The Thurston lava tube and hiked out near the edge of the Caldera . This is so sad . But all that’s lost is nothing compared to the potential the earth can do to us. If there is going to be a disastrous event we’ve been given a minimum of 7 weeks to prepare. If we haven’t taken the correct steps we only have ourselves to blame.
Hop, what are you talking about ? Is yours an obscure religious reference? Hawaii is very young, geologically speaking, and we should expect this ongoing growth.
Plenty else to do on big island besides the park so no need for anyone to cancel their trips. They can also visit Maui and Oahu which are great as well.
This is a stark reminder that the earth is about constant change. Everything under the earth, everything on the earth, and everything above the earth is in motion and chamge. This is life.

Éva Tóth the earth doing NORMAL things is a reminder Jesus is coming?? Put down the pipe idiot
WILL SHALL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE ALWAYS HAD IN THIS GENERATION 1924 Thru Present 2018 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Amen!
Not grateful enough to give back to the current generation, I bet.
🖕
We visited Jaggar again in September 2017 after being away from Hawaii for 20 years. We will always have good memories of the place.
I am glad he mentioned that we are watching history being made every day at Kilauea.
Wow.
Maybe in a few years a Jagger 2.0 Museum can be built once things stabilize.
But the fact the building is cracking and starting to slip into the crater is humbling.
Behold the power of nature!
The building my fall, but not peoples memories.
Hawaii is about big nature.

So sad I’ve been there so many. Many times I can’t count since 1975 -2016
I will miss not being able to visit
Aloha Nui Loa to Madam Pele for letting me experience your awesome Landscapes

RC Hobbyist Extreme I agree, this was far from the big one.
I was wondering if Jaggar was in danger of structural collapse. Sounds like we have our answer.
I'm just so happy that you were able to get the artifacts. We can still be on a live volcano and look at nature's wonder.
I count myself as lucky to have been able to visit the Jaggar Museum a few years back. It was so very much informative for those of us whom don't - didn't know anything about volcanos!!! But it's great to know that all that amazing stuffs inside has been saved.

Thank you Lady Kiri for your sentiments. -My wife and I just dined at Volcano house celebrating her birthday just before this started, hopefully we won't lose much more. -Aloha
Big Island is great, even ignoring Volcano - Kohala coast, mmmmm-luv-luv.... ranch country, Hilo, Kona coast (can get kinda voggy, esp. now, but great to visit, snorkel, historical, arts & coffee up Holualoa luv-luv), all the rainforest north coast area... maybe can take boat from Hilo even, to see the water-entry, so even you got volcano in there! Big Island sooo worth it!
Was just there and everything was great on Kona and Kohala sides. Stop by Hula Daddy Coffee for the best cup in the US!
So grateful to have been there “before”. Even so many years ago it was deemed as ‘a future event’. Standing near the rim was incredible, but now, a bit unrealistic. ❤️ Hawaii xoxo
It was closed when I visited in 2012 but it didn't matter, went on a helicopter ride, saw the lava and the drive to volcano from hilo itself was a spectacle. I'd love to go back some day.
The only thing that never changes
Is that everything is always changing.
God never changes
God is change.
Master over and creator of change.
Was on my bucket list. When it all settles I'll plan on coming to whatever is the new park.
Its sad, but nature does have its right of way. That Kilauea gave everyone close to a century of up close and personal exploration is really a wonderful legacy and as they said, who knows what it will end up providing this time around when its decided to settle down, maybe for another few decades.

What is a natural occurrence?... And I really love Jessica’s passion for the parks! 🌋💕

It's a good thing I visited the park and museum while I could!
It's hers she's reclaiming it🙌🙌🙌
I just heard on the radio that they're open. That museum needed an update though, it's looked the same in there for over 20 years.
This was a very informative and wonderful report
I was just on Big I, Kona and Waikoloa, and there is not a hint of vog or problems. Make sure you go to Hawaii and support their hospitality industry. What an amazing time I had!
Can hardly believe I stood inside that crater less than 2 years ago. This depresses me deeply.
Awww, sad and beautiful at the same time. 😢🌈
I remember seeing the old visitor center in the 1990's and I am actually starting to miss it, but I hope that people will learn to be careful.
Even though I'm in Namibia, I'm still sad about this, cause I really wanted to visit that area one day.
We feel lucky to have been at Jagger on 4-20-18, and saw the beginning effects of this eruption, we saw the small pockets of visible molten lava that started to move around just days before the large collapse. Luckily we took a lot of pictures that day as it appears things will be forever changed.
I went to Jagger 2 years ago, really neat place to visit. Hopefully Pela will ease up and spare Jagger Park and museum.
*Pele*
Why’s the audio so bad?
what a great question!
What impact has this had to the military camp in the park? Structural, roads, etc?
I just checked their website, it’s closed just like everything else in the park. My guess is that there may be minor structural damage but it is much further away from the crater compared to Jaggar so is likely to be in less danger.
Better to remove the collection than to lose it when the building falls into the creator. We may never return to that building, but we can build a new building.
The lava is destroying homes and tidal pools but it is adding land to the Island, and new tidal pools will form, perhaps better and more beautiful than Kapoho Bay ever was.
will not ever return?
this stuff makes too much money to not "return" ... it'll just be a different location is all....
It’s still beautiful Madame Pele is always in charge
Wow sad the HVO and Jagger may never reopen, Blessed to have been there 3 times.
This customer I had lost his job at the park, he just took his vacation right before the fissures and now regrets it saying he spent some dollars goin to Europe goin on his dream vacation. Kinda sad hearing him say he wouldn’t gone on his dream vacation just to have money to help him survive during unemployment.

We were there literally at Jaggar on may 4th when the 6.9 struck and all this at the summit started. They literally closed the park as we were driving out of the park.
I am so glad we made the decision our first full day there to take in the park first. Had we not we would never have had that chance again.
when a museum becomes part of a history and list of events. Hopefully they can make use of it still!!!
The volcano started erupting shortly before me and my family's vacation in Hawaii was scheduled to begin. As time went on, they closed the park and my worst fears were realized.
It was the one thing I was most looking forward to doing and the opportunity was taken away in the most untimely and unfair way possible.

Will the building be dismantled? Some nice old stone work and probably decent lumber there. Could be moved to the camp cabin area?
All the time people spend there they're in danger of an earthquake sending the whole thing into the crater, Saving the contents is one thing, dismantling a building something else again.
We have now an even more spectacular lava outbreak. Tourists can go on the Lava boats, see it from all sorts of places like mountain view or a helicopter flight. There will be a viewing area hopefully being constructed very soon.

I live fairly close to a super volcano -Mt Rainier.
When it blows there will be a huge lahar that will take out the Puyallup Valley.
Fortunately I am on much higher ground so I don't have to fear the lahar.
Many of the people in the valley won't be able to escape.
Human deaths in the area will probably be in the tens of thousands
Generations from now? I don't think so.

New earth, beautiful, I love it.
Glad I got my pics already
Now you can enjoy the Great Leilani Lava River, and marvel at MT. Leilani possibly a new and distinct volcano. USGS will be arguing for years over that perception. All of island volcano's started from the same hot spot so why not.
batforjustice I agree. A New Volcano Name
It’s a vent on the rift zone of Kīlauea and shares the same magma chamber of the summit, not a different volcano. That’s not how these volcanoes are formed
The "mount" is actually a cinder cone, and in due course (if it survives) will probably be named Pu'u something, maybe Leilani, maybe not.
Pip Mitchell yes something like that
Mauna is mountain in Hawaiian terms. This is not a hill. I have tried to convert some of the names to English and I thought there could be improvement on more accurate names. All I can say is there are volcanic features and names for places that are destroyed and will never come back. While new volcanic features are being made.

We were there 1 year ago and camped out at the close by campground just outside the gate down the road a couple miles some nights the sky would be bright from the lava lake....not much reason to be there without the lava maybe Leilani estates will be the new park....
The crater collapse is feeding the lava growth down below which is then spewed out from the other fissures, is that even possible. All those material has to go some where.
So what's the update on the USGS wanting to fill the crater with water to cool the magma chamber below it ? Is that still an idea i just wanted to know how they expect to carry billions of gallons of water from the ocean to it.
I would imagine it's too dangerous and another park building will be built upon steady ground around the caldera again..
I was hoping to visit in September & also do helicopter flight over volcano. Hope by then we can do something that involves the area
earthquakes are nature's free roller coaster rides.
'We probably will not ever return.'
About a week later, comes back to hold a press conference
I understand its development over the last 100 years due to complacency, but how can anyone move back there and redevelop the area now? Would you build your house on an iceberg? Of course not. Then why would you build it on a volcano?
Would you build in a place that got yearly hurricanes, including flooding and destruction of houses? Would anyone build in a place subject to Earthquakes? Would anyone build in tornado alley? How about a place with frequent wildfires.
Oh wait, we do. We don't tell all the people in FL to stop living there due to all the hurricanes and destruction, but they suffer more frequently as people on HI. Same with people in the midwest, CA, and many, many other places.
Minew no... Thats why i love wv..
Have there been any sightings of Pele ?
Glad we went last year.
amazing they can't connect it to the solor minimum were heading into.
Can't find a rope long enough.
LardGreystoke everything in nature is connected. one supporting the other. one imbalance causes a reaction. have no doubt it will be fine. man on the other hand are only children of it. mans ignorance , and imbalance gets cleaned up. which drives man to grow. 💝
I grow tomatoes.
I can understand closing the current buildings, but viewing areas should be open as well as for the vent. The government control and filtering of the public's access and information is a bad trend I'm seeing.
Which I guess explains why they gave this TV interview.
Heh, I did mean to say opening newer viewing areas. Not the old ones.
Pele, or Mother Nature, or science, or God - however the F u wanna classify the source of this force - it truly has an amazing way of creating while destroying, simultaneously. I’m from there, live there for the first 20 years of my life, been gone for a little over 18 years, but have always enjoyed and appreciated that park and everything within. Although I feel sad when thinking about how I’ll never be able to enjoy new memories made there at Jagger Museum, I am grateful for the experiences that I’ve already had there. In due time, humans will make more time to find another place to build, to educate any and all who are willing to learn. Something to look forward to, at least. But for right NOW, in the present moment, acceptance is key, & being at peace w/whatever we’re dealt. Aloha a hui hou Jagger, it’s been a blast!

Where will they move the lava monster eggs?
Feels like the earth’s core will appear on Kilauea. And the earth will turn into half.

I was there in 2002
Incredible experience
We had lunch at the Jagger museum
walked through The Thurston lava tube and hiked out near the edge of the Caldera .
This is so sad .
But all that’s lost is nothing compared to the potential the earth can do to us.
If there is going to be a disastrous event we’ve been given a minimum of 7 weeks to prepare.
If we haven’t taken the correct steps we only have ourselves to blame.
Hop, what are you talking about ? Is yours an obscure religious reference?
Hawaii is very young, geologically speaking, and we should expect this ongoing growth.
I was just in Hawaii this past January
Just because it was safe for years doesn't mean it will always be that way. After all it is an active volcano and has been for years.
Things change. It's good!
Saddly the way things keep looking it might even be worth returning to due to how things been going its sad to say
Shut it's doors? Dude it's an outdoor park
Waimea Canyon Park is open
Acceptance
The day they lowered mauna Loa a 3.4 hit on the crater...back down? WHAT!?!
Sad for the park? What about all the people who lost their homes?
Plenty else to do on big island besides the park so no need for anyone to cancel their trips. They can also visit Maui and Oahu which are great as well.
Was just in Kona, bright blue sky. No worries. aloooooha
So the eruption is done?
And there you have it folks, our new Grand Canyon!
