Scientists have lowered the alert level for the Mauna Loa volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island from a warning to a watch and said the mountain’s first eruption in nearly 40 years may soon end.

FILE - Spectators watch the lava flow down the mountain from the Mauna Loa eruption, Nov. 29, 2022, near Hilo, Hawaii. On Wednesday, Dec. 7, the lava from Mauna Loa, was 1.8 miles from Saddle Road, also known as Route 200 or Daniel K. Inouye Highway, scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey said.

“High eruption rates will not resume based on past eruptive behavior and current behavior suggests that the eruption may end soon,” the observatory said. “However, an inflationary trend of Mauna Loa’s summit is accompanying the decreased activity and there is a small possibility that the eruption could continue at very low eruptive rates.”

Scientists said earlier this week that the road was no longer under imminent threat from the lava, allaying fears previously that it could be cut off.
