 Visitor dies after entering restricted area of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii National Park  

   

A 33-year-old Hawaii resident has died after entering a restricted area near the Kilauea volcano within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The National Park Service said the incident occurred on Feb. 26 on the east side of Kilauea caldera, an area closed to the public due to unstable terrain and extreme hazards.

Search and rescue crews worked overnight in steep, dangerous conditions before locating the individual the following day. He was airlifted from the area but was pronounced dead at a nearby medical facility. Officials are withholding the person’s identity for privacy reasons. The Kilauea caldera features unstable cliffs and volcanic features, particularly near the HalemaĘ»umaĘ»u crater rim, and closures are in place to protect visitors from landslides, cracks, and tremors. The volcano last erupted on Feb. 15, 2026, and future activity is expected between March 10 and 16, though that window may change. Authorities continue to investigate the incident and urge visitors to remain in open, designated areas.
