HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - An eruption that started Sunday night at Kilauea’s Halemaumau Crater has stabilized at least for now.
The U.S. Geological Survey said preliminary data showed a lava lake that formed during the eruption covers an area that’s about 33 acres large in the Halemaumau Crater.
Experts said as of Monday night, two of the three fissures that erupted were still active, spilling more lava into the bottom of the crater and continuing to attract spectators from around the island.
