Lava Lake Visible Atop Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano

A lava lake is visible atop Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano. The U.S. Geological Survey says the lake has come into view and a burst of seismic activity has shaken the summit in recent days. It’s the first time the lava lake has been visible since May 2015. The USGS says at least one earthquake was felt along with other smaller events. Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. A current lava flow into the Pacific Ocean has drawn thousands of visitors to the Hawaii volcanoes national park.
