Drones Are the New Volcano Watchdogs

Did you know scientists are using drones to keep an eye on Kīlauea’s volcanic vents? Last week, they flew over the summit to snap pics and sniff out volcanic gases. The volcano’s taking a breather for now, but it’s had 17 flare-ups since December! The cool part? Drones help spot hot spots and gas leaks—way safer than hiking up close. Just don’t try flying your own drone there; it’s a no-go unless you’re with the pros! #VolcanoWatch #DronesInAction #HawaiiLife #ScienceSimplified #Business
