Mauna Loa’s lava has slowed to a snail’s pace
Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano located on the Big Island of Hawaii, has been erupting for nearly two weeks. Since then, officials have been watching for lava heading toward a main highway connecting Hilo to Kona. Good news came Thursday when officials said the river of molten rock has slowed down.

Monarch butterflies are seen at one of their wintering sites in Angangueo, Michoacán State, Mexico.
