Most of the island is fine at the moment, but lava flow access from the erupting area is likely neither legal nor safe at this time, though conditions could change in the future.

Is there line-of-sight from Mauna Loa? That would be a great bird's eye view, if possible. Of course, bring your telescope would apply.

Probably not. The height is above the cloud layer, and the flanks could well have too gradual a slope to see anything (as a result of being a shield volcano).
