PAHOA,HAWAII—Hawaii’s Kilauea,one of the most active volcanoes on Earth,has been erupting for more than 30 years.But lava(熔岩) has been rushing toward the town,outside the city of Hilo.
It has become a tourist attraction,and visitors gather near a trash transfer station where the lava has destroyed a home.Its roof can be seen in the distance,above the black hardened lava.The lava flow near Pahoa,one of two active holes,is an irregular eruption.For a short period,scientists were trying to forecast that,and every one of those forecasts was wrong because of this start-and-stop feature.There’s almost no way of forecasting more than a day or two in advance.
In Honolulu,University of Hawaii researcher Bruce Houghton is analyzing the eruption using high-speed photography.He said that our understanding of volcanoes is improving with input from many scientific disciplines.This photo of the Kilauea lava flow at Pahoa,Hawaii,was taken Jan.22.The lava is now flowing on another,nearby leg.
In Pahoa,as the lava approaches within 500 meters of the local highway, some businesses are open,while others have moved to other places.Business owner Constance Rojcewicz is keeping an eye on the flowing lava.“It’s a little bit frightening,”she said.“You want to be ready.I’ll be ready to move out if I need to,in a day or two.”
