HONOLULU (AP) — Scientists say an eruption of a Hawaii volcano that began nearly two weeks ago has come to a pause. Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, began erupting June 7, 2023, after a three-month pause, displaying fountains of glowing red lava without threatening any communities or structures. Scientists declared the eruption paused again Monday (June 19, 2023) when it rapidly declined in the afternoon. The eruption sent crowds of people to the Big Island’s Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which offered safe views of the lava. Scientists will continue to monitor Kilauea, which is Hawaii’s second-largest volcano.
