This is a view into the Big Island of Hawaii's Kilauea caldera from the Thomas A. Jaggar Museum lookout on April 11, 2008. The Halema'uma'u crater is actively spewing gasses and ash. Fortunately, the tradewinds are blowing it away from the museum lookout and Hilo so Volcanoes National Park was open and filled with tourists from around the world..
