Did you catch the news of this exciting event at partner Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park last week? A park volunteer reported that he and visitors who witnessed the morning explosion across the crater at Jaggar Museum overlook were treated to a “rocket burst” of lava spatter that cleared the crater walls (and scorched wooden fencing at Halema‘uma‘u Overlook), and a dramatic cloud of ash in the volcanic gas plume. No one was hurt, because Halema‘uma‘u Overlook, and 4.72 miles (about 40%) of Crater Rim Drive, have been closed since March 2008 to protect the public. ow.ly/zANsQ
