STORY: A river of lava meanders through the landscape of the island of Hawai’i. Because a few days ago Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, came back to life after a relatively long hiatus. The last eruption was recorded in 1984, almost 40 years ago. For many viewers, that’s reason enough to get their own insight into the situation on the ground: HAWAII RESIDENTS, MEGHAN DECKER: “The scary thing is, Mauna Loa’s lava flows can reach both sides of the island. It’s a huge volcano. It is a humbling experience to see. And perhaps unique. Who knows how long this eruption will last, if there is another one. And if so, when?” knows and has friends and family on the island, then this eruption is very special. We are happy that this is happening in this area and that no other communities have been affected.” So far, the Hawaiian Disaster Management Agency assumes there are no signs that the hot lava is threatening inhabited areas. However, the eruption continues And accurate predictions about a volcano’s behavior are hardly possible.
