Visited Volcanoes National Park today-- while at the observatory, the seismic monitors logged a 1.9 magnitude quake [around 2pm HST]. We weren't able to perceive any effects at that magnitude, even though the epicenter was only a few miles away.
After a short drive around the park, we hiked through rainforest and across one of the crater floors--you can see the cinder cone from the last eruption here as well as many steam vents on the immense floor... The line in the middle of the image is from all of the visitors who walk across--it's about 15 feet wide and the crater itself is at least a mile across.
