Currently in eruption, Kilauea is unleashing lava through over a dozen fissures, consuming everything in its path—including entire neighborhoods—and forcing thousands to evacuate. At times, lava fountains have soared higher than the torch of New York’s Statue of Liberty.

Believe it or not, this fiery landscape once hosted a golf course. Just east of the visitor center, the remains of the old club still stand, where golfers once stayed overnight. The 19th hole? The volcano’s massive caldera.

Tune in and watch the smoldering craters and glowing lava flows, right from your screen. This is nature in its most untamed form—mesmerizing, powerful, and unforgettable.

Don’t miss your front-row seat to this fiery spectacle—available anytime, anywhere.
