A Boston 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.

The 30-year-old visitor suffered only minor facial injuries despite falling 30 feet off the steep cliff on the night of June 11.

"He told search and rescue rangers that he wanted a closer look at the Kilauea volcano eruption and got too close to the sheer cliff edge," the Park Service said in a statement.
