Kilauea

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck Sunday about 17 miles from Nāʻālehu on Hawaiʻi Island, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Residents from across the islands reported various levels of shaking.

As Kilauea volcano continues to erupt at its summit, victims of the 2018 eruption are getting the chance to rebuild. A county buyout program for people who lost their homes during the massive eruption three years ago is allowing people to claim the 2017 value of their property up to $230,000.

U.S. Geological Survey officials have lowered the alert level for Kilauea volcano. They say that over the past several days, a thick layer of molten lava has accumulated as a lava lake at the base of the crater.

One of the most active volcanos on Earth is erupting on Hawaiʻi Island again. Officials confirmed that an eruption has begun in Kilauea volcano’s Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to flock into Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park to get a glimpse.

Halemaʻumaʻu crater in Kīlauea volcano started erupting again on Wednesday afternoon, the United States Geological Survey said.

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park has yet to submit a court-ordered management plan for air tours over its public land. The action is required 21 years after the Air Tour Management Act of 2000 was enacted, and a year after a federal judge ruled in favor of environmental groups that petitioned the court to enforce the law.

Scientists say the immediate potential for an eruption at Kilauea volcano has declined. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says earthquakes and ground swelling at Kilauea's summit crater have subsided.

Geologists say they've detected a swarm of earthquakes at Kilauea volcano, though it isn't erupting. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says the quakes began overnight and continued into the morning.

The tiny coastal community of Kapoho on the Big Island was overrun by lava from the 2018 Kilauea Lower East Rift Zone eruption three years ago this week.
