Hawaiian volcano spewing lava sky-high in latest eruption
- Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes on Hawaii's Big Island, is erupting again, sending lava fountains over 330 feet into the air.
- The eruption is the 25th event since December 23, with previous episodes lasting a day or less and pauses in between.
- The U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory noted that the lava fountains could grow even higher as the eruption intensifies.
- The eruption is causing heavy traffic on Highway 11 near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
- Park visitors are warned to avoid closed areas due to hazards like unstable crater walls, rockfalls, ground cracking, elevated sulfur dioxide gas emissions, and Pele's hair.
