Kilauea, the volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, began spitting lava again on Tuesday.
Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It has been erupting intermittently since Dec. 23, when it first erupted. The eruption is taking place in the summit crater of the volcano within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Lava has not threatened any residential areas.
The latest release began at 10:16 am with lava flowing onto the floor of Halemaumau Crater. About a half-hour after that, a vent spewed lava up to 330 feet (100 meters) high.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that this is the ninth episode since December 23rd. The previous episodes lasted from 13 hours to 8 days with breaks in between.
The eruption has attracted many people to the overlooking sites within the national park.
Kilauea lies about 200 miles (320 km) southeast of Honolulu.
