This is a not-to-be-missed show.
Over the past week, a lava lake in Hawaii has been rising, and occasionally flowing over its rim into the crater it’s located within.
The lava lake, which has been active since March 2008, is inside an open vent located within Halemaumau Crater on Kilauea volcano.
This is the first time lava from the vent has been viewable from a public platform within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, geologist Janet Babb told the Associated Press on Thursday.

The lava lake has been seen splattering above the crater rim and rocks can be heard rumbling as the walls of the crater expand with heat.
