Kilauea is not erupting, but there has been increased earthquake activity and ground deformation at the summit since June 2.

The alert level at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been raised as scientists report an increase in activity.Kilauea is not erupting, but there has been increased earthquake activity and ground deformation at the summit since June 2, an update from the U.S. Geological Survey said. The activity suggests magma is moving just below the surface, the USGS added.'Rates of seismicity and deformation increased further after 5:00 p.m. HST.

The Kilauea volcano is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, so this kind of activity is not unusual. It has been erupting frequently since 1983, although most eruptions have been confined to the crater, so they typically do not pose a danger to surrounding communities.However, the volcano is still considered dangerous because it has produced explosive eruptions in the past.
