Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano is once again showing an increase in activity.

There have been increased earthquakes and ground deformation at the summit of the volcano ever since the early hours of January 31, an update from the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.

For this reason, the volcano’s alert level has been raised from yellow to orange, prompting scientists to keep a close eye on the volcano.

“At this time, it is not possible to say with certainty if this activity will lead to an eruption; the activity may remain below ground. However, an eruption in Kilauea’s summit region, within Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park and away from infrastructure, is one potential outcome,” the update said.

    Back in college. They showed us videos of this couple who were geographers. Specializing in volcanoes.

    In talking about CLOSE THE FUCK UP footage dawg.

    The last documentary they did ended like this:

    “In loving memory…”

    They fucking died during the last one they recorded because they got SO incredibly close like they always did.

    And they… we’re enveloped by the lava … sad unbelievable kinda too
