"Lava from the Kilauea eruption has boiled away Hawaii's largest freshwater lake in just a matter of hours.

In a statement released on June 2, the U.S. Geological Survey explained that lava from the eruption's fissure 8 entered Green Lake and boiled its water away, sending a white plume high into the sky.

USGS tweeted that lava entered Green Lake at 10 AM local time. By 3PM, Hawaii County Fire Department confirmed that the lake had filled and that its water had evaporated." foxnews.com/science/2018/06/12/hawaii-volcano-kilauea-lava-boiled-away-big-islands-largest-freshwater-lake.html

    > Wikipedia reassures me that the volcanic field is dormant. Whatever that means.

    Don't worry, I'm sure that if there's an eruption during Wikipedia's lifetime, someone will update the page once the lava's flowing through the streets.

    And then it will be reverted as original research.

    Hopefully it will last long enough to be cited by a news story, which can then be used a basis for re-editing the wikipedia page. ;-)
