Hawaii national park rangers have reissued warnings about volcano tourism after a small child wandered off and came within feet of a 400ft cliff near the rim of Klauea volcano, whose latest eruption had begun on 23 December.

The hazards that coincide with an eruption are dangerous, and we have safety measures in place including closed areas, barriers, closure signs and traffic management," said park superintendent Rhonda Loh in a statement.
