Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano shoots lava 330 feet into the sky in latest eruption

The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island sprang to life yet again this week with a Tuesday morning eruption that shot lava more than 300 feet in the air.

The latest incident started at about 10:16 a.m. when the vents began pouring the molten rock onto the floor of Halemaumau Crater, according to CBS News.

A half-hour later, lava burst out of a vent with tremendous power and hit heights of about 330 feet.

Known as one of the world’s most lively volcanoes, Kilauea has been belching lava in a stream of eruptions since Dec. 23.

By early Wednesday, fountains of the molten rock were consistently spraying as high as 200 feet, the outlet added.

“Current hazards include volcanic gas emissions and windblown volcanic glass (Pele’s Hair) that may impact Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park and nearby communities,” the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said in a statement.
