Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has closed some parking areas and trails around Kilauea due to an increase in seismic activity.
A U.S. Coast Guard crew captured this video of smoke rising from the lava erupting from the Shishaldin Volcano on Unimak Island in Alaska. Volcanologists stress that despite hundreds of minor earthquakes, the volcano is not actively erupting. However, changes in terrain resemble periods with increased activity.. "Inflation at the summit of Kīlauea remains close to its highest level in over 5 years and has nearly returned to the level seen just before the last eruption on September 10th.
"Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is closely monitoring Kīlauea in collaboration with our colleagues at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory,""Sulfur dioxide gas emissions have greatly decreased; however, local concentrations of sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide may persist in downwind areas, and residents may notice odors of these gases occasionally," the USGS stated.
The volcano is more than 100 miles from Honolulu, which has a population of about 350,000. An eruption in 2018 destroyed more than 700 homes and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.Other nearby volcanoes, such as Mauna Kea, Hualalai and Mauna Loa, are all at normal status.The Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted in July.
