The U.S. Geological Survey on Friday lowered the alert level for Kilauea Volcano after a recent eruption episode ended.

The active Halemaʻumaʻu eruption’s 56th episode finished on Thursday at 6:01 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Following the end of the event, the U.S. Geological Survey lowered the volcano alert level from a watch to an advisory.

The agency also lowered the aviation color code for Kilauea from orange to yellow. The agency had previously issued a watch alert and an orange aviation code on Monday ahead of the eruption episode.
