Kilauea Eruption 12/23/24

[Durian Fiend]

The fountains have stopped, the crater is filled with a layer of new lava, orange glow from cracks on the crater floor.  Photo from sunset today.  Park was jam packed, cars parked any place that looked like a space.  Overlooks full with people.

Wow, that was quick.  We met a young French couple that was trying to figure out a way to see the spectacle at night without missing their 7AM flight today out of Kona. They can consider themselves quite lucky for catching the eruption at all.
