With Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, erupting, some travelers may be wondering if they can still visit Hawaii. If you're planning a trip to Hawaii, the short answer is there's no need to change your travel plans at this time, according to the Hawaiian Tourism Authority. The volcano started to erupt around 11:30 p.m. local time in Moku‘āweoweo Caldera, located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Early Monday morning, the lava migrated from the summit to the northeast flank, but there's no immediate threat to communities.
