Even as dramatic images continue to show the spread of lava from the Kilauea volcanic eruption on Hawaii’s Big Island, Governor David Ige is insisting that travel is safe to the Hawaiian Islands.
"This is a time to listen to the experts on-site and to trust what they are reporting and recommending," he said. "The experts are telling us there is no danger from the eruptions to anyone outside the areas that have been evacuated.
“There is no threat of a tsunami. Air quality is being closely studied and is of most concern in the immediate area inside where the volcanic activity is taking place."
Geologists rank Kilauea as one of the biggest upheavals in a century from one of the world's most active volcanoes.
Governor Ige said there are teams of scientists, geologists, meteorologists, and health experts supported around the clock by emergency officials and law enforcement personnel.
