The National Park Service has issued a call for caution among those viewing the erupting Kīlauea volcano, describing a dramatic scene that unfolded in a closed area on Christmas Day.
According to a news release from the NPS, families had gathered beyond the Kīlauea Overlook in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park at sunset to watch the eruption, which began on December 23, when a toddler wandered off and sprinted towards the edge of a 400-foot cliff.
