The cliff top at the volcano’s summit in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park reopened.
Jun 10, 2021
The view from Uēkahuna, the highest point on the rim of Kaluapele, the caldera of Kīlauea, is unlike any other and the popular bluff has reopened this week after being closed since 2018.
That year, magma drained from Halemaʻumaʻu, the summit crater, triggering months of repetitive earthquakes, damaging ash clouds and the eventual collapse of Kīlauea summit. This unprecedented eruption caused major damage to roads, hiking trails and park buildings within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Uēkahuna had to be closed for repairs.
