The DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife announced Wednesday it is closing the Kahauale’a Natural Area Reserve in Puna for 90 days due to the eruptive activity at Kilauea. The closure, effective immediately, may be extended if hazardous conditions continue.

Kilauea’s eruption at the remote Napau Crater continues this morning, with lava still confined to the crater floor. According to a Hawaiian Volcano Observatory update, the volcanic vent that opened Tuesday morning within the crater is still emitting lava, which has now covered about 30% of the crater floor.

The U.S. Geological Survey said “intrusion of magma” began on Sept. 14 in Kilauea’s middle East Rift Zone, increasing the potential of an eruption. Current activity is taking place in a remote area of the rift zone, within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
