Hawaii's Kilauea volcano continues to erupt Tourists are penalized for breaking into restricted areas

According to the Us "World Journal" report, Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano continues to erupt, and dozens of people have ventured into the closed area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to see the wonders, and park rangers have issued warnings.

After the eruption of Kilauea, a lava lake was formed in the 554-foot (about 169-meter) deep crater, and dozens of adventurers broke into the enclosed area to take photos and videos of the eruption.

Ranger supervisor Jack Corrao said the intruders could inhale deadly volcanic gases if the winds changed slightly, and if they stumbled or the edge of a standing cliff cracked, they could fall into huge lava craters or craters.

He said the Parks Authority continued to open the park so that everyone could safely experience the wonders of the eruption, but the dozens of people entering the enclosed area and rangers had to pay special attention to them, putting ranger employees at risk.

Park spokesman Firacan warned that fines for violating park rules start at $150 and increase with multiple violations, and can even be kicked out of the park.

Local media reported that the park area where the eruption took place has been closed since 2007 because the volcanic gas, volcanic stones, eruptions and ash particles in the area are at extremely high risk levels.

The eruption has also spurred local tourism, with a significant increase in cars outside the park since Dec. 20, when large numbers of tourists come by car to see the sights.

Paradis Helicopters, a helicopter travel service that specializes in helicopter travel, said the covid-19 pandemic has left business deserted over the past few months, but the eruption has led to a surge in business, a significant increase in bookings, and next Monday's flights have been booked out, the only time business has exploded since the pandemic.
