- Federal scientists late Saturday said Hawaii’s second-largest volcano is not erupting, updating to a previous warning.
- The U.S. Geological Survey said seismic activity beneath the summit of Kilauea has “returned to background levels, ground deformation has stabilized, and no lava has been observed at the surface.”
- However, the statement also warned that another “intrusion or resumption” may occur in the near future with little or no warning.
- The agency previously said a shallow earthquake storm signaled the resumption of eruptive activity at Kilauea summit is “likely imminent.”
- Kilauea erupted from September 2021 to last December.
