Kilauea volcano is preparing for another eruption, marking the 31st since December. The eruptions are drawing locals and tourists to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, while many more will view the events online through livestreams managed by the U.S. Geological Survey. The ongoing activity includes lava fountaining from Haleumaumau Crater, which is traditionally associated with the volcano goddess Pele. Geologists observe that a lower magma chamber is receiving magma at a rate of 5 cubic yards per second, indicating anticipation for significant lava flow.
