We leave you this morning with Nature's great spectacle at the Mauna Loa volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.
It is oozing at a speed of less than 50 yards per hour, meaning it takes about two hours to move the length of a football field.
Five days after Hawaii's Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, erupted, the lava is becoming much less of a threat and more of a treat to tourists and scientists alike. Jonathan Vigliotti reports.
Thousands of viewers flock to witness the world's largest volcano erupt, jamming a highway in Mauna Loa that scientists say could soon be covered by the flow. Jonathan Vigliotti reports.

Crowds of spectators have flocked to the DKI Highway, which has become an impromptu viewing point for the rare volcanic eruption.
"This is a rare time where we have two eruptions happening simultaneously," said a spokesperson for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Hawaii is experiencing the rare sight of two neighboring volcanoes erupting simultaneously. New lava flows gushed down Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, and Kilauea on the archipelago's Big Island Tuesday. Scientists say a threat to humans is unlikely thus far, but as hot lava flows cause disruption and move closer to neighborhoods, danger is not out of the question. Jonathan Vigliotti reports.
Given the huge volcano's history, USGS urged residents "at risk" of lava flows to review their preparation measures.
