MANY EARTHQUAKES, FEW EARTHQUAKES. This repetitive behavior of Kilauea Volcano ongoing with hundreds of quakes one day and a few the next. Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that "Magma has been pressurizing the system beneath Halemaʻumaʻu and the south caldera region, activating seismicity along faults in the upper East Rift Zone. At this time, it is not possible to say whether this increase in activity will lead to an intrusion or eruption in the near future, or simply continue as seismic unrest at depth. Changes in the character and location of unrest can occur quickly, as can the potential for eruption."
As a result various trails and camping areas have been opened and closed during the last few weeks at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.
In addition the summit of Mauna Loa reopened this week for backcountry use and overnight camping.
Information on this grueling, high-elevation trek and how to get a backcountry permit through Recreation.gov is available on the park website.

Conservation is generally associated with the protection of natural resources,
while preservation is associated with the protection of buildings, objects, and landscapes.

Put simply conservation seeks the proper use of nature, while preservation seeks protection of nature from use.
