Alert level for Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano gets downgraded following 3rd eruption this year
Fox News
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, one of the most active in the world, began erupting Sunday. Officials have now downgraded the volcano’s alert level.
In June, Kilauea erupted for several weeks, displaying fountains of red lava without threatening any communities or structures. Crowds flocked to the Big Island’s Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which offered safe views of the lava.
The current eruption was confined to Kilauea caldera within the park. The observatory said it "does not see any indication of activity migrating elsewhere on Kilauea volcano and expects the eruption to remain confined to the summit region."
