There remains no threat from the eruption to area communities. However, state Health Department officials continue to warn downwind communities to prepare for the threat of heavy fog.

The U.S. Geological Survey said lava is erupting from multiple vents along the floor and western wall of Halemaumau Crater ― where all lava activity remains.

Thousands have flocked to Hawaiʻian Volcanoes National Park to see the eruption.
