is kilauea the type of volcano that will blow?tic eruption we normally associate with volcanoes. not normally. kilauea, like iceland, is associated more with runny lava floes. the pu'u ‘0'o eruption has been going for some 35 years. i'm sure many viewers have seen oceans of lava dripping into the sea. it's a case of the dangers are really to do with the danger to homes, the lava floe engulfing the homes, but also toxic gases. there had been concern that some of the lava was flowing back underground. a volcano guide said "what goes down is going to have to come up", and there is concern the vents could collapse. what does that then mean? yes, the 1700 people evacuated have been evacuated for good reason. the magma is clearly close to the surface and the cracks are accommodating some stresses close to the surface where it's pushing up. clearly it has erupted, and sometimes it subsides and things can collapse. the danger not only of the lava itself, but also the land collapsing is a real and present threat. what are the usgs watching

." >>> experts in hawaii say the kilauea volcano could experience a massive explosion within days. nothing is certain, but they fear the blast could send massive boulders into the air, endangering lives and property. because of the potential danger, hawaii's volcano national park is closed today. carter evans is in hawaii and haas our report. >> reporter: geologists are warning a possible explosion at the summit of kilauea could be the largest in nearly 100 years, hurling boulders the size of refrigerato refrigerators. the heavy clouds of smoke coming from the main crater were likely triggered from a rock fall from the walls. as the lava level inside the volcano drained lower, the danger of an eruption can actually increase. when the molten rock reaches groundwater levels, pressurized steam can create an explosion, spewing rocks and ash miles from the crater. further down, the underground lava oozing from the cracks of leilani estates is only a half mile away from a geothermal power plant. it's shut down. workers trucked away 60,000 gallons of liquid from the area. >> if you projec

kilauea has been erupting constantly for more than 30 years. but not like this. unfolding in slow motion, gobbling up the ground in a residential area called leilani estates. since thursday, lava has been spewing forth from more than ten fissures in the ground. this community was built on a field of fire, and no—one knows where the next rupture will emerge. hundreds of homes are threatened. hundreds of people have been forced to flee. as you go down the hill you can see that leilani avenue doesn't exist anymore. there's a black lava thing. everything is all gone. at one point lava burst more than 200 feet into the air, higher than nelson's column in trafalgar square. at the crater of kilauea, geologists are using time—lapse videos to keep watch. but even the experts say that predicting the behaviour of a magma plumbing system which extends a0 miles beneath the earth of the nice terror attack. firings my??? lei-3“ iipwsrs. tm " ’ to the 86 people who lost their lives in july 2016 with temperatures soaring, you may tempted to indulge in an ice cream or two. but, if

kilauea's activity has been ramping up in recent days.t roared back to life nearly three weeks ago. a real problem for the big island >> yeah. that's right the hawaiian volcano observatory issued a code red warning that additional activity could be expected the big concern is what kind of impact this could have on tourism, which is hawaii's largest single source of capital and it makes up about a quarter of hawaii's gdp. the data so far doesn't show a sizable change but it's still early. perhaps next week's data will give us an idea on how tourists and travelers have responded to these eruptions. >> the big island, kona on one side, hilo on the other. there's no threat for those major, major areas, however you have to figure that this could put a sense dampener on some people who want to go out there. do they want to be there in case this happens hawaii is pretty much under continuous volcanic alert. >> but we're now seeing the physical movement on the ground. >> this is more land mass being created on the island because of the lava flowi
