Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, one of Earth’s most active, is putting on a fiery show this week as fountains of lava burst from its summit. The eruption began early Monday, lighting up the skies within the closed-off area of Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park 🌋. While the dramatic event poses no immediate threat to nearby communities, authorities are urging visitors to stay clear of restricted zones.
This latest eruption follows a pattern of activity for Kilauea, which has been erupting intermittently since 1983. Scientists say the lava is contained within the summit caldera—think of it as nature’s own ‘containment zone’—but they’re monitoring gas emissions and seismic activity closely 🧪💨. For now, the spectacle remains a must-watch for geology enthusiasts and a reminder of our planet’s raw power.
