Hawaii's Kilauea volcano put on another dramatic display yesterday, sending lava and smoke high into the air as molten rock spilled from its openings.
The US Geological Survey reported that this marked Kilauea’s 41st eruptive episode, which began at approximately 11.10 am local time (9.10pm Irish time).
At its most intense, lava fountains soared nearly 480m above the crater.
Scientists with the USGS noted that the volcano has been experiencing intermittent eruptions since 23 December 2024.
Activity has largely been concentrated at two vents, one to the north and another to the south, within the Halema'uma'u crater.
Renowned for its persistent activity, Kilauea remains one of the most volcanically active sites on the planet.
