Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, erupted once more on Hawaii’s Big Island, shooting dramatic fountains of lava high into the sky.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed that the eruption began at 2:04 p.m. local time (01:04 BST), marking the volcano’s 31st eruption in less than a year. Video released by the agency shows molten rock bursting more than 100 feet above the crater floor.
Despite the intensity of the display, officials reported that the eruption posed no immediate threat to nearby communities or infrastructure. Scientists continue to monitor gas emissions, seismic activity, and lava flows around the summit to assess any potential changes.
Kilauea is considered one of the most closely observed volcanoes in the world, with advanced monitoring equipment providing real-time updates. The volcano has experienced repeated episodes of activity since 2023, reinforcing its reputation as a natural force of both beauty and danger.
Authorities have reminded visitors and residents to follow safety advisories and stay clear of restricted areas near the summit.
