[Rockhounds] "Kīlauea Volcano is no longer erupting", says USGS-HVO

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

*Activity Summary:* Kīlauea Volcano is no longer erupting. Observations
indicate that the eruption in Halema'uma'u at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano
has paused. This morning, May 26, the lava lake is 229 m (751 ft) deep and
is stagnant across its surface. Within the past 48 hours, no active lava
was observed in webcam images of the Halema'uma'u crater lava lake surface.
Field crews on May 25 did not observe any signs of lava lake activity, and
reported no signs of recently active surface lava. Sulfur dioxide emission
rates remain slightly elevated.

HVO will issue a Volcano Activity Notice (VAN) lowering the Volcano Alert
Level for ground based hazards from WATCH to ADVISORY and the Aviation
Color Code from ORANGE to YELLOW. HVO continues to monitor Kīlauea Volcano
closely for additional signs of changes in activity.
