Big Island of Hawaii Real Estate – Kilauea Volcano Attracts Scientist and Tourists


The Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii is once again attracting droves of scientists and tourists in anticipation of a possible explosive eruption in the next few weeks.  All key indicators are pointing towards this possibility, as the lava lake at the summit continues to rise and the number of small earthquakes have increased to as many as 15 per day.  A similar set of circumstances occurred in March 2011, which lead to natural firework show where molten rock flew as high as 80 feet in the air.  The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park suggest that visitors come to the park after dark “to view the dramatic glow that lava beneath the surface casts upon clouds and the plume of volcanic gas.”
