you do know that Kilauea has been erupting non-stop since 1983 right?

That was amazing thank you. That’s what the public need so that we can see what has changed. It will encourage the people to come back again to see Kilauea and surrounding areas.

Park...what a difference in crater, museum, etc! Hope the park can reopen and Museum assessments somehow allow to reopen. If not, rebuild this unique experience again. I want to come back!

IKR, I keep watching the USGS vids and thinking, "it doesn't look that big." Then I see a full grown tree off to one side of the flow looking all tiny, and I'm like, "OH... nevermind..."

Very interesting information about Volcanic damage in The National Park and time line on possible reopening. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

She was a very good guide and explained so much!

Very well presented. A permanently shifting landscape, for sure.

That park ranger is great! She's very informative, helpful, and knows her stuff.

Brilliant video. Thank you for showing us

what an awesone ranger! she really put passion into the changes happening. she seemed surprised by the changes, were these changes that occurred after the quakes had stopped?

We were there a year ago this month. Now it's a lot like looking at another Waimea Canyon instead of a lava lake. Kinda sad since it was so cool bring able to see the lake first hand but now it's just an empty hole. I know it can and probably will fill up again, but who knows when.

The cracks still growing means it's still sinking in, look how far back from the crater they are. Still lots of movement going on, subtle but still moving. I think error on the side of extreme caution would be much smarter.

Figure the shape of the chamber. Probably not a cube, or a pyramid, a sphere is about unlikely... so, irregular up close, but probably...probably... lense-ish shaped from long distancce. Awful lot of concentric crack, deepening ring shaped calderas, now long dead, so this COULD be it. The sharp edges WILL erode, first and every rain, but futher collapse will probably fracture "sharp edged" again. Ever see skyscrapers sway during a quake? Either side of that crack is a skyscraper of dirt, swaying independantly from the "building" beside it. Drama queens hype over folks getting eaten by those cracks, and you know... the taller the building are, and the more independantly they sway... well, the further they can seperate up top. Hmmm...

USGS removed all pictures and vids from summit. The addition of 10+inches of water atop a recently active volcanoes isn't worth mentioning?

I have the good fortune of going there back in December 2007 when the parking area was open and the Visitor Center was open. Just amazing. Being from a volcanic country (Costa Rica) I know that one can go to a volcano one year and the next you can't. The changes both at the VC and Halema'uma'u are immense. I hope that when all is ended the VC is repaired and people can return. And of course, residents can reconstruct their homes.

Even though the big quakes have stopped changes are still going on?? Amazing.

The whole island is just a series of volcanoes,2 of which are still active,there will always be changes....and many more events like this......though i doubt Kilauea has actually stopped erupting yet since Lava is still flowing into the sea in area's.

Once the lava lake returns, it will be a truly spectacular sight to behold. Sitting on that wall during one of those collapse events would have been fantastic. A wonderful new landscape has been created and one day the park will reopen to the public for everyone to explore. Cannot wait 😊

WOW!!! To say I enjoyed this is an understatement.

A wonderful update for us. Mahalo!

the destruction is unimaginable the drop of the crater floor, the ash covering everything, the rock wall top opening and closing Mahalo, for your work, Stay Safe

Thanks to BIVN and HVO/park staff. Great video. Lots of good info.

18,000 quakes and the cracks are widening...Pele is not done yet she is just taking a breather.

That’s absolutely breathtaking😀. We were there in February and we can’t wait to go back and see it in person. When we visited, my wife Josette found an app called the “Big Isle Shaka” which we download onto the phone on the way up to the crater. It used the GPS on the phone, and guided us thru trails in the woods up there. There was this 500 plus foot crater called devils elbow or something that you would have not ever know was there. It was back in the woods a piece. POINT BEING that why build a lot of brick and mortar infrastructure if we all got GPS to guide us🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Now you can promote it as: "Hawaii's NEW Grand Canyon" !

Mahalo. Looks likes the crater is becoming Hawaii's Grand Canyon! Wonderful tour by USGS park rangers. Stay safe y'all !

I was there about 10 months ago. What a change.

That was interesting, looked different from wen I visited it years ago. I need to go there again.

I don't understand why people get surprised when something like this happens. I think the biggest problem, is when everyone expects the status quo to last forever. It's a dynamic landscape, so change is in it's nature.There will be many more changes before Kilauea gets choked off and replaced by a new volcanic system.

Yes, please keep these updates public and allow entrance in as soon as you can. The whole island suffers with closure and not communicating how safe and fun visiting is.

I remember looking across this crater a few years ago at sunset and seeing the glow from the smaller active crater a long ways away. It was beautiful and I remember watching the youtube videos showing the devastation and island birth every day when all of the eruptions were happening. Terrifying but beautiful.

great information officer.

We were in that very spot about 5 years ago. It’s changed so much. Eery!

7:03...I finally found Supermans phone booth!!!

Incredible looks like a mini Grand Canyon- one of the largest volcanic eruption in the world was in Colorado USA See.... La Garita Caldera Told in school Grand Canyon was formed from the Colorado river Amazing to see 1100 feet of caldera floor drop from deflation in just 90 days with high vertical walls The caldera walls at the pit are now 2000 feet or 1/3 of Grand Canyon Got to admit I looked at Grand Canyon with new amateur thoughts - volcano or river ? Volcanic national park just got a whole lot cooler looking 🌺

Wow! Very interesting!

Wow. Lucky people to get a tour. Remember that nature will make use of everything, it's all fine.

The formation of a mini Grand Canyon...

The crunchy sound when folks walk, of the lava ' soil ' seems to be omnipresent in all these videos. Even in the woods, where folks are taking their own vids to show the volcanic activity, there always seems to be a gravelly texture to the ground.

The calm before the storm...

So many questions... As a general rule, there's pressure up from beneath, hence the whole string of islands. Did this (once you define what "this" refers to) start with an increase in that pressure, or did static, long term pressure prove too much for one bit of rock, which shifted and allowed percolation, degassing, and eventual eruption? LERZ opened, vente, drained the summit lake, drained the summit-ish reservior, and then, presumably, kept going in a "vicious circle", of degassing, deoressurization, more degassing, etc, until a certain extent of the vertical hotspot was degassed to the point where the mass of the vertical magma left (plus cloggage), reached equilibrium with the tendancy to degas, and here we are. Of the two... I gave to guess equilibrium. Neither summit not vent are currently subsiding or swelling... enough for media to report it, soooo... where are we? Slowing subsidence, slowly increasibg re-pressurization, both, or right on the razor's edge? Next move going to be subtle, or blatant? If subtle, the pro's will clue to it, but the reporters...heh. The first us peons get word, then, will be....a change in the rules? Change in enforcement? Or the lid stays on till they want us to know? Most people aren't that shady, but some are, the players, never hard to spot when you know where to look. And the straights tend to leak. Accidentally or otherwise. You listenin, playa? We watchin. :-)

Apparently creating large cracks in the road is a crime, judging by the "Crime Scene" tape used. I hope they catch the culprit. :-)

4:40 It also means nothing. A building can look fine, but inside all of the supporting structures could have failed. And that is the most likely kind of damage you get. I'd be surprised if this building is undamaged.

Until the next magma movement is expressed at the surface, any work done there could be obliterated if the fissure structure closes and the summit returns to venting. I suspect it will not, but until the substructure is remapped, no one can be certain.

Hosanna. maranatha.

Puna Geothermal plant was Fracking which caused the Volcanoe eruption.
