Eruption of Kilauea Volcano Sends Lava Fountains Skyward

On August 22, Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island unleashed an impressive display of nature's power, with huge fountains of lava shooting up to 100 feet into the air. This energetic eruption is noted as Kilauea's 31st in less than a year, underlining its status as one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) captured breathtaking video footage of the eruption, which began at approximately 14:04 local time. Experts closely track Kilauea's activity, assuring that no homes are threatened by this recent volcanic event.
