A Boston-area man hoping to get an up-close view of the Kilauea eruption at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was injured after falling off a cliff in the dark, a National Park Service spokesperson said.

A 30-year-old man was rescued last week after falling 30 feet from a cliff in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.It happened last Wednesday near the Byron Ledge Trail and serves as a stark reminder to stay on marked trails and come prepared,

A tree ultimately broke his fall, saving the man from an additional, potentially fatal, 100-foot fall to the caldera floor
