Mauna Loa has been erupting for days, with lava shooting to heights of up to 148 feet on Tuesday
As the world’s largest active volcano oozes molten rock here on the Big Island, a blend of concern and awe has emerged among visitors. People were pulling over in their cars throughout the night to get a glimpse of the striking scene – a blazing river cutting through the darkened horizon. They took photos and videos, stood in silence, and even urged others to turn off their car lights for a better, and more reverential, view. .
Still, the simultaneous eruptions of Mauna Loa and neighboring volcano Kilauea, which has been erupting for more than a year, could possibly put people at risk of inhaling air that’s been compromised, state health officials have warned. Residents and visitors can expect “vog conditions, ash in the air, and levels of sulfur dioxide to increase and fluctuate in various areas of the state,” the Hawaii health department said.
