UPDATE: The park announced on Wednesday that it would reopen Chain of Craters Road and nearby sites as seismicity returned to normal levels in Kilauea volcano’s upper East Rift Zone. Areas accessed by Chain of Craters Road, including coastal backcountry sites, Kulanaokuaiki Campground, Keanakakoi, and the Devastation Trail and parking area, have also reopened.

On Tuesday morning, HVO reported increased activity in the south part of Kilauea’s caldera, which was followed by a cluster of earthquakes in the upper East Rift Zone.

As a precaution, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park said in a news release it would close the Chain of Craters Road at the intersection near Devastation parking lot and nearby areas.
