Can't imagine why anyone would want to hike that close to the lava!

Thank you for the original, have never seen anything like it. ⭐️

Uh, no, The big spatter cone and the smaller one have increased their activity and the east-west crack they're sitting on looks like it's ready to pop.

Oh, it will go quiet from time to time--days, weeks, months, maybe years--but once it starts, it lasts in that region for a very long time.
