This is a terrific video; lots of detail, with context and explanation. Great job by Jessica! So moving to see the changes in our favorite National Park. Thanks to the NPS for taking care of this wonderful place
That was amazing thank you. That’s what the public need so that we can see what has changed. It will encourage the people to come back again to see Kilauea and surrounding areas.
This is absolutely gorgeous and mind-boggling !!! I am so intrigued by volcanos. I really enjoy that park guide. I've watched her through out the eruption and she is magnificent!! Thank you for sharing!
what an awesone ranger! she really put passion into the changes happening. she seemed surprised by the changes, were these changes that occurred after the quakes had stopped?
We were there a year ago this month. Now it's a lot like looking at another Waimea Canyon instead of a lava lake. Kinda sad since it was so cool bring able to see the lake first hand but now it's just an empty hole. I know it can and probably will fill up again, but who knows when.
Im stunned at the footage from the collapse/explosions. Just watching the part of the overlook move was incredible. I do hope you guys rebuild and adapt to all the new changes in the park.
The whole island is just a series of volcanoes,2 of which are still active,there will always be changes....and many more events like this......though i doubt Kilauea has actually stopped erupting yet since Lava is still flowing into the sea in area's.
IKR, I keep watching the USGS vids and thinking, "it doesn't look that big." Then I see a full grown tree off to one side of the flow looking all tiny, and I'm like, "OH... nevermind..."
the destruction is unimaginable the drop of the crater floor, the ash covering everything, the rock wall top opening and closing Mahalo, for your work, Stay Safe
Mahalo for posting this great tour update...so familiar, but now different as well. Just WOW for me as lived Ohau 8 yrs with several dozen visits to Big Island & Volcano Nat. Park...what a difference in crater, museum, etc! Hope the park can reopen and Museum assessments somehow allow to reopen. If not, rebuild this unique experience again. I want to come back! Mahalo again!🤙
I don't understand why people get surprised when something like this happens. I think the biggest problem, is when everyone expects the status quo to last forever. It's a dynamic landscape, so change is in it's nature.There will be many more changes before Kilauea gets choked off and replaced by a new volcanic system.
Well Bob, Some people don't live by Volcanoes. Don't see the land changing drastically. I don't understand why you think everyone should know, What this can look like before and after.
AJ LeRuth You don't have to live by a volcano to see change. Change happens around us constantly. Sometimes very quickly, other times it's subtle. You've only got to visit somewhere you haven't been for 5 or 10 years to see how much it's changed. Change can be good as it brings new opportunities.
The cracks still growing means it's still sinking in, look how far back from the crater they are. Still lots of movement going on, subtle but still moving. I think error on the side of extreme caution would be much smarter.
Figure the shape of the chamber. Probably not a cube, or a pyramid, a sphere is about unlikely... so, irregular up close, but probably...probably... lense-ish shaped from long distancce. Awful lot of concentric crack, deepening ring shaped calderas, now long dead, so this COULD be it. The sharp edges WILL erode, first and every rain, but futher collapse will probably fracture "sharp edged" again. Ever see skyscrapers sway during a quake? Either side of that crack is a skyscraper of dirt, swaying independantly from the "building" beside it. Drama queens hype over folks getting eaten by those cracks, and you know... the taller the building are, and the more independantly they sway... well, the further they can seperate up top. Hmmm...
Incredible looks like a mini Grand Canyon- one of the largest volcanic eruption in the world was in Colorado USA See.... La Garita Caldera Told in school Grand Canyon was formed from the Colorado river Amazing to see 1100 feet of caldera floor drop from deflation in just 90 days with high vertical walls The caldera walls at the pit are now 2000 feet or 1/3 of Grand Canyon Got to admit I looked at Grand Canyon with new amateur thoughts - volcano or river ? Volcanic national park just got a whole lot cooler looking 🌺
Sarah Tonen yes, and the World is Flat to right? I hope you're joking and not serious, if you are serious maybe you should see a doctor about your paranoid delusions and illusions of grandeur.
When you live in very young Islands geologically speaking and which have been formed by a still active underwater volcano system and also have active volcanoes on the Island it should not be a big surprise when this happens.
Yeah should be interesting to see the change as the chamber refills and the crater rises back up, but it'll probably happen at a slower rate than the deflation...
6:30 "I can't take you over there" .... ? Because the pedestal fell over and they might stub a toe on it? I am so fed up with our massively "over-safe" America nowadays... 50 years ago most of the park would probably still be open if this happened, and you would just have to "not be dumb".
Wow. I would NOT be standing there if I were them. I think they are playing with fire. I also think the amount of denial present regarding the potential for danger where they are is staggering.
So many questions... As a general rule, there's pressure up from beneath, hence the whole string of islands. Did this (once you define what "this" refers to) start with an increase in that pressure, or did static, long term pressure prove too much for one bit of rock, which shifted and allowed percolation, degassing, and eventual eruption? LERZ opened, vente, drained the summit lake, drained the summit-ish reservior, and then, presumably, kept going in a "vicious circle", of degassing, deoressurization, more degassing, etc, until a certain extent of the vertical hotspot was degassed to the point where the mass of the vertical magma left (plus cloggage), reached equilibrium with the tendancy to degas, and here we are. Of the two... I gave to guess equilibrium. Neither summit not vent are currently subsiding or swelling... enough for media to report it, soooo... where are we? Slowing subsidence, slowly increasibg re-pressurization, both, or right on the razor's edge? Next move going to be subtle, or blatant? If subtle, the pro's will clue to it, but the reporters...heh. The first us peons get word, then, will be....a change in the rules? Change in enforcement? Or the lid stays on till they want us to know? Most people aren't that shady, but some are, the players, never hard to spot when you know where to look. And the straights tend to leak. Accidentally or otherwise. You listenin, playa? We watchin. :-)
That’s absolutely breathtaking😀. We were there in February and we can’t wait to go back and see it in person. When we visited, my wife Josette found an app called the “Big Isle Shaka” which we download onto the phone on the way up to the crater. It used the GPS on the phone, and guided us thru trails in the woods up there. There was this 500 plus foot crater called devils elbow or something that you would have not ever know was there. It was back in the woods a piece. POINT BEING that why build a lot of brick and mortar infrastructure if we all got GPS to guide us🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
the tape at the end says "crime scene do not cross"... hmm. news gonna say something like "Police are searching for a Hawaiian goddess named Pele in connection with what they describe as malicious and destructive volcanic activity on the Big Island. Details on that and hurricane recovery updates this afternoon at 6."
I remember looking across this crater a few years ago at sunset and seeing the glow from the smaller active crater a long ways away. It was beautiful and I remember watching the youtube videos showing the devastation and island birth every day when all of the eruptions were happening. Terrifying but beautiful.
Once the lava lake returns, it will be a truly spectacular sight to behold. Sitting on that wall during one of those collapse events would have been fantastic. A wonderful new landscape has been created and one day the park will reopen to the public for everyone to explore. Cannot wait 😊
Yes, please keep these updates public and allow entrance in as soon as you can. The whole island suffers with closure and not communicating how safe and fun visiting is.
Until the next magma movement is expressed at the surface, any work done there could be obliterated if the fissure structure closes and the summit returns to venting. I suspect it will not, but until the substructure is remapped, no one can be certain.
Is it my imagination or are those clouds not moving? If anyone sees a cloud moving, please provide the time stamp and where to look on the screen. Thanks!
Perhaps Jaeger could be dismantled and moved? Live screens with fissure 8 and drone footage of the journey of the flow down would give visitors the peak experience and keep them out of restricted areas in lower Puna.
brokenlibrary2591 I doubt moving the structure is economic/feasible, but using projection or large screen tv to recreate the experience in a safe location should be doable quite quickly!
BROKEN: GOOD IDEA, ESPECIALLY 'OUT OF ... IN/THE LOWER PUNA'. TO LOSE EVERYTHING IS DEVASTATING, TO HAVE PEOPLE COME AND LOOK AT YOUR LOSS, FOR SOME, CAN BE HUMILIATING. PEOPLE IN THE LOWER PUNA NEED PEACE AND HEALING.
dean: to this point! if what your doing, is watching this(and commenting on lack of 'action') ... and you don't live here, please remember that 700 houses, thus people/families have lost a lot/everything. ( i live 2mi from leilani and 3mi from fissure 8. all i had to contend with was 1000's of quakes(literally) and a poop load of so2 and a few road closures and rerouting) this has had people go from 'displaced/shock/disbelief/anger and coming into resignation and hopelessness'. for all of those followers who don't live here and share your kokua, thank you! people have been stripped bare here, please respect 'the people'.
beo wulf first off you been nice enough to prove you're a f****** moron in multiple ways. first off because I wasn't saying they should do more I was pointing out they've already done all of those things. Second I don't give a f*** about your stress levels if you're dumb enough to build on an active lava field! Gee let's go build in the East Rift Zone the most active spot on the f****** entire Island that's a great idea!
The crunchy sound when folks walk, of the lava ' soil ' seems to be omnipresent in all these videos. Even in the woods, where folks are taking their own vids to show the volcanic activity, there always seems to be a gravelly texture to the ground.
4:40 It also means nothing. A building can look fine, but inside all of the supporting structures could have failed. And that is the most likely kind of damage you get. I'd be surprised if this building is undamaged.
I have the good fortune of going there back in December 2007 when the parking area was open and the Visitor Center was open. Just amazing. Being from a volcanic country (Costa Rica) I know that one can go to a volcano one year and the next you can't. The changes both at the VC and Halema'uma'u are immense. I hope that when all is ended the VC is repaired and people can return. And of course, residents can reconstruct their homes.
Navigating around the crack? Good lord....let's get out our Sextons, compasses, GPS, maps, and be sure to navigate around this crack as we walk. Typical government oversight.
Seems the eruption at Fissure 8 has quieted down and the whole Kilauea system is dormant. Also, is the Jaggar Museum still closed due to earthquake damage?
Lava is still flowing into the sea as i speak right now......Kilauea and Mona Loa are still active volcanoes,as long as that Hot Spot exist the lava will flow.
So they are assessing damages and determining what to repair at the volcano but the people cant go to their homes and assess their damages? The way shes talking about the amount of parking needed for the park, im imagining they are considering parking to tour fissure 8. Evacuation zone 1 leilani estates maybe?
Different jurisdiction. National Park is federal and the County and State can't cite people for being there. Besides, this was a tour for press people - and there have been escorted tours for press people in Leilani as well. (and no, I'm not trying to imply that I like that but it is the facts)
SHES JUST TAKING A SMALL BREATHER. 1500FT DROP HAS CUT OFF THE CHANNEL TO FISSURE 8. THE MAGMA UNDERNEATH, POTENTIALLY, WILL NEED A NEW WAY TO VENT/BLOW. ITS NOT OVER, NOT SINCE 1983 HAS SHE BEEN SILENT. JUST BE PREPARED.
Some people who post in all caps are elderly people or people in general with bad eyes. I had an uncle who always posted in all caps because he couldn't see the lower case print. Let's cut people some slack.
I visited Hawaii from Europe in 2013 and wanted to go to the park, but the Americans have this stupid thing where they can shut down their government, which is beyond silly for a developed nation. So the park was closed. :-(
Truthsayer.. He was born in Hawaii and is of South Korean ancestry... If you're going to complain, at least have the right info...otherwise you just look like a dumbass...
aloha196575 groan... more idiots out to get their 15 minutes of fame with what they think, is " shocking" comments. Get a job, finish school move out of your parents home and grow up. Now go do your homework
1 Thessalonians 4:16 Context 13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
This is SAD for me to see! What I see is the disappearance of a beautiful island called Hawaii into an island that will be unrecognizable if the volcano eruptions continue.
This is a terrific video; lots of detail, with context and explanation. Great job by Jessica! So moving to see the changes in our favorite National Park. Thanks to the NPS for taking care of this wonderful place
That was amazing thank you. That’s what the public need so that we can see what has changed. It will encourage the people to come back again to see Kilauea and surrounding areas.
I was thinking the exact opposite, this should show people that it's not safe and they need to stay out
Truthsayer then stay home if that’s what u want to do
Agreed. Go up to the park, leave the people in the residential and farm areas alone.
Truthsayer(??)... speak for yourself. People tend to be a lot more curious and welcome witnessing dramatic change. You don't, clearly.
Joyleen Poortier
This is absolutely gorgeous and mind-boggling !!! I am so intrigued by volcanos. I really enjoy that park guide. I've watched her through out the eruption and she is magnificent!! Thank you for sharing!
you do know that Kilauea has been erupting non-stop since 1983 right?
this is the best video showing the geography of the land thank you :-)
That was so interesting. Changed beyond recognition from when I saw it in 2008.
Yes!. I was there in 2007 and went to Halema'uma'u!. Breathtaking.
Good to see the park return to native inhabitants..let them have their space on this planet..do we need to monetize everything?
what an awesone ranger! she really put passion into the changes happening. she seemed surprised by the changes, were these changes that occurred after the quakes had stopped?
We were there a year ago this month. Now it's a lot like looking at another Waimea Canyon instead of a lava lake. Kinda sad since it was so cool bring able to see the lake first hand but now it's just an empty hole. I know it can and probably will fill up again, but who knows when.
Now you can promote it as: "Hawaii's NEW Grand Canyon" !
Im stunned at the footage from the collapse/explosions. Just watching the part of the overlook move was incredible. I do hope you guys rebuild and adapt to all the new changes in the park.
Even though the big quakes have stopped changes are still going on?? Amazing.
The whole island is just a series of volcanoes,2 of which are still active,there will always be changes....and many more events like this......though i doubt Kilauea has actually stopped erupting yet since Lava is still flowing into the sea in area's.
Amazing! Seen the aerial photos and video but can't tell the enormity as there nothing of known size represented. This isms astounding!
IKR, I keep watching the USGS vids and thinking, "it doesn't look that big." Then I see a full grown tree off to one side of the flow looking all tiny, and I'm like, "OH... nevermind..."
18,000 quakes and the cracks are widening...Pele is not done yet she is just taking a breather.
Thank you, that was really interesting. This must be an exciting, interesting and exhausting time for the park staff. Thanks for all you do.
Anything happen to Iki? Earthquake numbers 18k p/month= 600 a day, 25 per hour, one roughly every 2 min
Richard Goldman my heart will break if my family will not be able to walk the kiluaea iki trail again. A must for every visit to HVNP
the destruction is unimaginable the drop of the crater floor, the ash covering everything, the rock wall top opening and closing Mahalo, for your work, Stay Safe
Mahalo for posting this great tour update...so familiar, but now different as well. Just WOW for me as lived Ohau 8 yrs with several dozen visits to Big Island & Volcano Nat. Park...what a difference in crater, museum, etc! Hope the park can reopen and Museum assessments somehow allow to reopen. If not, rebuild this unique experience again. I want to come back! Mahalo again!🤙
It's good to see the all areas ones again.. Tnx u all USGS team. Best wishes.. Archit from India.
Very well presented. A permanently shifting landscape, for sure.
Very interesting information about Volcanic damage in The National Park and time line on possible reopening. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
I don't understand why people get surprised when something like this happens. I think the biggest problem, is when everyone expects the status quo to last forever. It's a dynamic landscape, so change is in it's nature.There will be many more changes before Kilauea gets choked off and replaced by a new volcanic system.
Probably cause most people live on landscapes that change at an incredibly slower pace than volcanoes do.
...in which we will all be LOOOOONG GONE b4 that even gets close to happening...
Well Bob, Some people don't live by Volcanoes. Don't see the land changing drastically. I don't understand why you think everyone should know, What this can look like before and after.
AJ LeRuth
You don't have to live by a volcano to see change. Change happens around us constantly. Sometimes very quickly, other times it's subtle. You've only got to visit somewhere you haven't been for 5 or 10 years to see how much it's changed. Change can be good as it brings new opportunities.
I thnk more Lelani folk should be involved in what is going on and future plans. :0 peace
The cracks still growing means it's still sinking in, look how far back from the crater they are. Still lots of movement going on, subtle but still moving. I think error on the side of extreme caution would be much smarter.
And that's why they don't open the park, or at least not that part.
i believe you were looking for "err on the side of extreme caution"
Figure the shape of the chamber. Probably not a cube, or a pyramid, a sphere is about unlikely... so, irregular up close, but probably...probably... lense-ish shaped from long distancce.
Awful lot of concentric crack, deepening ring shaped calderas, now long dead, so this COULD be it. The sharp edges WILL erode, first and every rain, but futher collapse will probably fracture "sharp edged" again.
Ever see skyscrapers sway during a quake? Either side of that crack is a skyscraper of dirt, swaying independantly from the "building" beside it. Drama queens hype over folks getting eaten by those cracks, and you know... the taller the building are, and the more independantly they sway... well, the further they can seperate up top. Hmmm...
USGS removed all pictures and vids from summit. The addition of 10+inches of water atop a recently active volcanoes isn't worth mentioning?
Incredible looks like a mini Grand Canyon- one of the largest volcanic eruption in the world was in Colorado USA
See.... La Garita Caldera
Told in school Grand Canyon was formed from the Colorado river
Amazing to see 1100 feet of caldera floor drop from deflation in just 90 days with high vertical walls
The caldera walls at the pit are now 2000 feet or 1/3 of Grand Canyon
Got to admit I looked at Grand Canyon with new amateur thoughts - volcano or river ?
Volcanic national park just got a whole lot cooler looking 🌺
7:03...I finally found Supermans phone booth!!!
Hahahaha." So the Native are enjoying NO PEOPLE" hmmm ? ya dont say.
I love it when my In-Laws go away too.
That park ranger is great! She's very informative, helpful, and knows her stuff.
Apparently creating large cracks in the road is a crime, judging by the "Crime Scene" tape used. I hope they catch the culprit. :-)
😂😂
Whackadoodledo!
downvote for great stupidity.
My goodness!. It's a joke.
Sarah Tonen yes, and the World is Flat to right? I hope you're joking and not serious, if you are serious maybe you should see a doctor about your paranoid delusions and illusions of grandeur.
When you live in very young Islands geologically speaking and which have been formed by a still active underwater volcano system and also have active volcanoes on the Island it should not be a big surprise when this happens.
finally...someone with a comment with common sense.
It’s not over yet
The big Island has 2 active volcanoes .....won't be over for a long time.
She was a very good guide and explained so much!
The formation of a mini Grand Canyon...
It's going to be very exciting when the magma comes back.
Maybe soon but its nice seein vog down.
pizzafrenzyman
Agreed, an amazing lava lake will appear, surpassing any that were there previously. Then, tourism will go through the roof.
Yeah should be interesting to see the change as the chamber refills and the crater rises back up, but it'll probably happen at a slower rate than the deflation...
Wow. Lucky people to get a tour. Remember that nature will make use of everything, it's all fine.
I was there about 10 months ago. What a change.
Awesome video!!
Awesome info.
God Bless
6:30 "I can't take you over there" .... ? Because the pedestal fell over and they might stub a toe on it? I am so fed up with our massively "over-safe" America nowadays... 50 years ago most of the park would probably still be open if this happened, and you would just have to "not be dumb".
Wow. I would NOT be standing there if I were them. I think they are playing with fire. I also think the amount of denial present regarding the potential for danger where they are is staggering.
How about buses and guided tours to pay for the rebuild.
So many questions...
As a general rule, there's pressure up from beneath, hence the whole string of islands. Did this (once you define what "this" refers to) start with an increase in that pressure, or did static, long term pressure prove too much for one bit of rock, which shifted and allowed percolation, degassing, and eventual eruption?
LERZ opened, vente, drained the summit lake, drained the summit-ish reservior, and then, presumably, kept going in a "vicious circle", of degassing, deoressurization, more degassing, etc, until a certain extent of the vertical hotspot was degassed to the point where the mass of the vertical magma left (plus cloggage), reached equilibrium with the tendancy to degas, and here we are.
Of the two... I gave to guess equilibrium. Neither summit not vent are currently subsiding or swelling... enough for media to report it, soooo... where are we?
Slowing subsidence, slowly increasibg re-pressurization, both, or right on the razor's edge? Next move going to be subtle, or blatant?
If subtle, the pro's will clue to it, but the reporters...heh. The first us peons get word, then, will be....a change in the rules? Change in enforcement?
Or the lid stays on till they want us to know?
Most people aren't that shady, but some are, the players, never hard to spot when you know where to look. And the straights tend to leak. Accidentally or otherwise.
You listenin, playa? We watchin.

Mahalo. Looks likes the crater is becoming Hawaii's Grand Canyon! Wonderful tour by USGS park rangers. Stay safe y'all !
I was expecting an earthquake any second. Those clips from the cement blocks moving... Exactly the same feeling as when I see blood 🤭
imagine getting your fingers trapped in that...
O my😲
Xaiano 😱
Cement blocks moving???
Judge Executioner yep, at 1:16
I remember looking across this crater a few years ago at sunset and seeing the glow from the smaller active crater a long ways away. It was beautiful and I remember watching the youtube videos showing the devastation and island birth every day when all of the eruptions were happening. Terrifying but beautiful.

A wonderful update for us. Mahalo!

Puna Geothermal plant was Fracking which caused the Volcanoe eruption.

Thanks to BIVN and HVO/park staff.
Great video. Lots of good info.
Did anybody of those offiicials try to get a Map of those cracks ? Possible break of the whole Island in two halfs ?
Wow! Very interesting!
Time to fill it with trash and garbage, cover it over and move on!
Mr Glass t u..😃😂good one..
So throw a couple of dirt loads in the crack and allow cars to go!
That was interesting, looked different from wen I visited it years ago. I need to go there again.
Omg i am impressed. ☺
WOW!!! To say I enjoyed this is an understatement.
Perhaps Jaeger could be dismantled and moved? Live screens with fissure 8 and drone footage of the journey of the flow down would give visitors the peak experience and keep them out of restricted areas in lower Puna.
brokenlibrary2591 I doubt moving the structure is economic/feasible, but using projection or large screen tv to recreate the experience in a safe location should be doable quite quickly!

There's been a live cam down at 8 for a couple months. It's like watching grass grow at this point.

lots of Kolea
Thank u dor all updates
The crunchy sound when folks walk, of the lava ' soil ' seems to be omnipresent in all these videos. Even in the woods, where folks are taking their own vids to show the volcanic activity, there always seems to be a gravelly texture to the ground.
Yup. Volcanic cinder debris everywhere. And when this stuff is on the hard lava, you get a crunch crunch sound when walking.
You can eat it too.
Think it’s what they’ve called tetra..maybe misspelled it. Looks like burned popcorn..
Tephra. Greek term, literally means ashes.
TORAH IS A MUST, NOT KABBALAH. SHALO.m 132
4:40 It also means nothing. A building can look fine, but inside all of the supporting structures could have failed. And that is the most likely kind of damage you get.
I'd be surprised if this building is undamaged.
Once it all stops ? Time too look for gold ore ! Gems ! Too rebuild the community as a whole !
Millions of dollars at your feet.
Stops?...There are 2 active volcanoes and Kilauea is still pushing lava into the sea.....it may stop in a couple of hundred years maybe.
I have the good fortune of going there back in December 2007 when the parking area was open and the Visitor Center was open.
Just amazing. Being from a volcanic country (Costa Rica) I know that one can go to a volcano one year and the next you can't.
The changes both at the VC and Halema'uma'u are immense.
I hope that when all is ended the VC is repaired and people can return. And of course, residents can reconstruct their homes.
Lets make an active volcano a national park!
Filling with water is not a concern?
Navigating around the crack? Good lord....let's get out our Sextons, compasses, GPS, maps, and be sure to navigate around this crack as we walk. Typical government oversight.
Lawyers and their lawsuits to protect those without any "uncommon" sense
... it's a word. Do you also hyperventilate when a patrolman talks about he proceeded to the automobile to speak with the individual?
HR: Sextons maintain churches. Sextants are used for celestial navigation. ;)
Pelican1984 yes, sextants. You get the point. Like Barney giving a tour of the jail.
Columbus discovered America because he used a Sexton to navigate around the crack.
great information officer.
I was there 10yrs ago.
We were in that very spot about 5 years ago. It’s changed so much. Eery!
Like this is shocking, of course it changed... it erupted. -_-
More like USBS
Let people look at the earthquake damage to the museum. People will pay for that kind of tour.
Let me in!
Seems the eruption at Fissure 8 has quieted down and the whole Kilauea system is dormant. Also, is the Jaggar Museum still closed due to earthquake damage?
The Jaggar Museum is likely to be closed forever as it is and where it is because it is too damaged to fix. I thought they said that in the video?
I recall at 4:32 there was some reference to the museum, but I didn't know it was severely damaged beyond repair.
Dormant?? Maybe taking a brief nap..I don’t know..how in world can any group, USGS or whoever predict what Kilauea will do next...
Lava is still flowing into the sea as i speak right now......Kilauea and Mona Loa are still active volcanoes,as long as that Hot Spot exist the lava will flow.
Nene, do you love me, are you riding... (Sorry. I had to.)

I wished they had some before and after pictures for those of us who have never been but still excellent video thanks for sharing. God bless
The USGS Hawaii Volcano Observatory website has some, I believe.
Hosanna. maranatha.
heavy rain friday!
So they are assessing damages and determining what to repair at the volcano but the people cant go to their homes and assess their damages? The way shes talking about the amount of parking needed for the park, im imagining they are considering parking to tour fissure 8. Evacuation zone 1 leilani estates maybe?
Different jurisdiction. National Park is federal and the County and State can't cite people for being there. Besides, this was a tour for press people - and there have been escorted tours for press people in Leilani as well. (and no, I'm not trying to imply that I like that but it is the facts)
@@marenpurves2406 i see
SHES JUST TAKING A SMALL BREATHER. 1500FT DROP HAS CUT OFF THE CHANNEL TO FISSURE 8. THE MAGMA UNDERNEATH, POTENTIALLY, WILL NEED A NEW WAY TO VENT/BLOW. ITS NOT OVER, NOT SINCE 1983 HAS SHE BEEN SILENT. JUST BE PREPARED.
this person is irrational
+Michael Kenyon I just had a premonition that it is just being momentarily interrupted.
It has to come up somewhere, are any other craters active on the island where the lava can vent
Michael Kenyon that's mostly what I think about people that type in all caps.
Some people who post in all caps are elderly people or people in general with bad eyes. I had an uncle who always posted in all caps because he couldn't see the lower case print. Let's cut people some slack.

I visited Hawaii from Europe in 2013 and wanted to go to the park, but the Americans have this stupid thing where they can shut down their government, which is beyond silly for a developed nation. So the park was closed. :-(
RogerWilco So so stupid, most Americans would agree.
When a bunch of babies don't get what they want when they want they throw a tantrum and make everyone pay.
Sooo...you got to experience a rare bit of history; thanks to Americans!
RogerWilco honestly, it's not all about YOU... The world will continue to spin, even when you don't get your way...
RogerWilco stay in Europe
If there are cracks forming all over the place then that means the surface area is expanding. If the surface area is expanding then I would clear out.
This makes me so sad. Volcano is my favorite part of the entire island and we used to go hike the national park a few times a month :(
this is going to be a huge waste of taxpayers money.
Best dog and pony show in Hawaii?
No park rangers born and raised from Hawaii island?
is that true?
no?

no the white supremacist have total control, and H.Kim is Japanese
Truthsayer..

If you're going to complain, at least have the right info...otherwise you just look like a dumbass...
aloha196575 groan... more idiots out to get their 15 minutes of fame with what they think, is " shocking" comments. Get a job, finish school move out of your parents home and grow up. Now go do your homework
Truthsayer, l don't believe Kim is a Japanese surname.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 Context
13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
She's lucky I'm not her State or federal boss...I would simply put a sign out KAPU!!!!!!
Sorry to say but the rain from the hurricane will change this landscape drastically. Comparison video will be needed when rains stop.
This is SAD for me to see! What I see is the disappearance of a beautiful island called Hawaii into an island that will be unrecognizable if the volcano eruptions continue.
