Kilauea Volcano Lava Tube Opens After Eruption (Feb. 21, 2020)
Nāhuku, also known as Thurston Lava Tube, in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park reopened Friday at 10 a.m. after the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea closed the popular natural feature to the public. MORE: www.bigislandvideonews.com/20...

From the title, I thought that the lava tube just came into existence after an eruption. Actually the lava tube just opened to the public (with no relation to any eruption.)

It's been closed due to dangerous conditions since the last eruption of 2018. We were just out on the fields today and they are still hot and smoking.

Rover Dover I thought so too. What horribly deceptive garbage. REOPENED would have made it worthy...im not watching to the end, i was at this specific tube decades ago myself. Dishonest clickbait makes me block. They are blocked.
Imagine how many of these are around the world just waiting to be found

Take a look at craters of the Moon national monument in southeast Idaho. the Apollo astronauts trained in their space suits out there. It's one of my favorite places in southern Idaho. And I haven't even seen the best part of it way over on the east.
Don't touch anything! Feet: Are we a joke to you?
Thank you for opening the tubes. In 2017 no one ever thought about the 2018 eruption that set things in such a disarray. Thank you so much.
This should read "Hawai'i Lava Tube Reopened to the Public After Eruption". Still, very cool and I haven't seen the inside of a lava tube before. Thank you!!

The last time I was on the Big Island I walked through a lava tube, very cool. It was dank with a bit of dripping water and bigger than expected. Definitely worth a visit.

Seth Rogan is a washed up hack.
I surveyed a 23 mile long lave tube on mt shasta in Calif. It was a summer long project...very spectacular. Lots of Pleistocene Ice in the caves, frozen waterfalls underground and in places the lava tube chanbers ould be 300 ft long and 40 ft tall....woo hoo...! ( but no pavement, handrails or lights...these are dangerous tubes, full of rockfalls and deep holes that can suddeny give way under you...not for tourists or weekend warriors.... and no place for guns or spray paint.

You're idiots, "experience Nahuku with your eyes your ears, NOT your hands". When he said don't touch, that means not by your grubby, greasy, bacterial-laden fingers. That tube could hold a lot of people so walking through the roots seems unavoidable, but you can still minimize direct contact. Ya'll have brains, I suggest you use it.
Incredible. Awesome work, unbelievable dedication. Beautiful. Well done.
Ya’ll got any of them crack monitors??
Was there in 06, great experience
the potential for colaspe of ceiling or floor, sudden eruption, or a downward death slide, lets go.
The size keeps amazing me, I always thought lava tubes weren't big enough for a person to stand in upright.
thanks family, great news
Amazing...tkx for sharing this
How long or how deep can one walk in this lava tube?
*Fluffy approves of this video*
Can you still go past the lighted area further into the tunnel?
I've never been in that lava tube, but I did find another one nearby that was more hidden and I walked maybe a quarter mile into it. I wish I had brought a spare flashlight because if my battery ran out, I'd have been 100% blind because it is DARK in there. So my advice, BRING TWO FLASHLIGHTS and DO NOT rely on the light from your phone.

Unbelievable to see now the Kilauea is erupting again, haha! Is this lava tube anywhere near the present eruption at the summit?

Mary Wright That’s very important to note. I would if I had money to go lol.
How are the families and couples doing who lost their homes? I am sure many had to relocate elsewhere on the Island; much easier said, than the actual devastation they faced losing their homes and finding a place to live.
wait so are these like active tubes that could run lava if the valcano erupts again?
Oh wait a minute. That was a tour guide.. now it makes sense.. maybe someday he'll get used to it.
How old is the tube?
Love that tube!!
Just seems like the profuse number of human traffic would push up the temperature as well as changing the moisture level in the cave as well. However, they don't seem concerned about it. Perhaps those changes are insignificant, though I can't imagine how that would be true.

The whole island chain is made up of lava mountains that rose up from the depths of the ocean bed.
If a person needs a sign to denote the dangers of entering a lava tube, they're exactly the sort of person that shouldn't go
Well , at least I found something that helps me sleep, other than sleeping pills , ........ listening to this tour guide. Oh my God😒
I wanted to see what this looks like, as lava tubes may be the first human habitats on the moon.
Tremor tubes. All joking aside, very cool.

I think its impossible to avoid them, unless there is a path throught where the roots are not growing....in my opinion they should not let people in there, they just gonna ruin the place
The subconscious ramblings of a tourist mind... as they are smiling and looking around... Quite Contrary sometimes to belief.
So they went through the process of explaining rocks fall but didn't have the people wear safety helmets ..... see any problems there !!!!!
I knew the tubes grew large, but I had no idea that a fully grown man could walk through some of them. I'm not sure that I'd like to walk through one. Maybe.

Oh yea, they can get huge. Like over 15 feet across easily. My Mother went diving with my Dad MANY years ago in Hawaii and decided to do a swim thru a massive ancient lava tube under water. It was 100 yards long...and you could swim out the other end. Well, partway thru my Mother got horrible vertigo because the native fish were swimming thru the tubes....upside down and sideways. She experienced a panic attacked, went thru 2 hours of air in minuets, and started clawing insanely at the walls instinctually trying to figure out “up”. My Dad (military training) restrained her and hurriedly took her out the shortest way possible. My Mother apparently had undiagnosed claustrophobia. While she would go diving again....she NEVER entered underwater caves or enclosed spaces underwater. That was a big NOPE for her. Remember those boys trapped in that cave in Thailand? My Mom agreed 100% that it was a good idea those boys were tranquillized when evacuated. Apparently during early rescue some rescuers got trapped due to waters suddenly raising unexpectedly....and panicked while being evacuated underwater due to natural claustrophobia. This earlier near tragic event is what led them to decide to have the boys sleep very soundly when being pulled out. Even in high traffic areas.........respect and use common sense in caves!

My Great Grandfather worked in the Coal Mines in Virginia before WW2. He was so sick off the conditions he took his entire family back to Eastern Europe and used the money earned to buy a farm. He even left his his newborn baby girl (my Grandma, Mother’s side), back with him. She did not do well on that trip apparently 🤢. My Great Grandfather later died from the thing he feared most...the black lung disease. But when Hitler invaded Cheklosavacia (damn, can never spell it right), my Grandma had to flee because everyone knew she was technically American. Ironically, Grandma (only 14) had to go to Germany and she got on the last boat from Germany to the USA. She, even in her old age, always spoke of coal mines as though they were horrible places. But my ears always perk up when mines....and mining disasters occur. The series “Disasters of the Century”, had some very OLD forgotten disasters on there. Being underground is no joke. It’s deadly. But oddly I like tight spaces and have no natural real fear. I think it’s the autism 🤷♀️.
"Visitors don´t touch!"... that doesn´t work! Is saw that in Grottes de Han in belgium. Is there a spot, people will touch! People are idiots at large... sadly!
I'll take all that shit home lol
Should be wearing helmets...
Talks repeatedly about monitoring the caves condition proceeds to talk as loudly as possible in an enclosed space with cracked rock above there heads 🤦

So to uphold the life in the lava tube stay out of it... stop selling tours.
