Breaking: Kīlauea Lava Lake Sighted from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Overlook

On the evening of September 30, 2021, the new lava lake at Kīlauea's summit was first sighted from a public overlook within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The volcano's newest eruption, only 2 days old, has brought lava into public view for the first time since 2018. During the first day of activity, the lake rose an average of 1 m / yd per hour, but has since slowed. These scenes were shot at dawn on October 1, 2021.
