A Boston-area man hoping to get an up-close view of the Kilauea eruption at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was injured after falling off a cliff in the dark, a National Park Service spokesperson said.

A 30-year-old man was rescued last week after falling 30 feet from a cliff in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.It happened last Wednesday near the Byron Ledge Trail and serves as a stark reminder to stay on marked trails and come prepared,

One of the world’s most active volcanoes, Kilauea on Hawaii’s Big Island, began spewing lava from the north vent Wednesday, the latest event in an ongoing eruption that began almost six months ago. Lava fountains reached heights of more than 330 feet (100 meters).
