The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island has erupted, displaying a powerful spectacle of nature. Incandescent fountains of lava illuminated the sky, with lava jets reaching over 100 meters in height. Dense plumes of smoke rose above the crater.
The eruption is typical of Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes. It is known for its frequent, generally non-explosive eruptions. The volcano has been continuously active since December 23, 2024.
Experts note that eruptions in this phase typically last less than 24 hours, although the volcano's behavior can change rapidly. No damage or threats to nearby communities have been reported. Authorities have closed the crater area to the public as a precaution.
