.....when de volcano blows!Kilauea is erupting again. This time it is on top by the visitor center. Visitors to the Jagger Museum have a ring side seat as the Halemaumau Crater, (that's the one YOU drove around) is the origin of the latest hot spot.
Visitors to Kilauea's summit have a rare chance to see a red, orange and yellow glow emanate from a vent at Halemaumau Crater, traditionally considered to be the home of Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess.
Kilauea on the Big Island has been erupting continuously since 1983 and frequently offers views of lava oozing to the surface and flowing into the sea. But it's rare for an incandescent glow to be seen at Halemaumau Crater, said Mardie Lane, a spokeswoman for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Hmmmm, maybe this Pele guy is just bitter?!
