Kilauea volcano began shooting lava into the air once again Tuesday on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, has been erupting on and off for nearly two months since it burst to life on Dec. 23. The eruption has been taking place at the volcano’s summit crater inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. No residential areas have been threatened by lava.

The latest release of molten rock began 10:16 a.m. with lava flowing on to the floor of Halemaumau Crater. A half-hour later, a vent shot lava about 330 feet (100 meters) high. https://www.oregonlive.com/nation/2025/02/hawaii-volcano-shoots-lava-into-air-captured-in-dramatic-video.html?utm_campaign=theoregonian_sf&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook
