Nature's fireworks lit up Hawaii's Big Island yesterday as Kilauea volcano erupted in spectacular fashion – with a remote monitoring camera recording its own destruction in the process! 🔥
The U.S. Geological Survey released jaw-dropping footage showing 15-30 meter lava fountains bursting from the volcano's north vent on December 6. The camera kept rolling until molten rock literally knocked its lens offline – the ultimate 'hot mic' moment! 🎥💥
While Kilauea has been periodically active this year, this marks one of 2025's most dramatic eruptions yet. Scientists confirm the lava flow remains contained within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, posing no immediate threat to communities.
"This is why we monitor 24/7," a USGS volcanologist told reporters. "Kilauea reminds us who's really in charge of the islands." The agency maintains its volcano alert level at WATCH status as of December 7.
