"Lava fountains erupted through fissures in the caldera floor and fed lava flows," the agency said. The fountains were up to 90 meters high. However, the main danger is the volcanic gases.
According to the USGS, the current eruption at the summit of Kilauea is the sixth there since 2020. The eruptions in the summit region have lasted between a week and more than a year, according to the information. Kilauea is considered one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It is located on the largest island in the Hawaiian island chain, which itself bears the name "Hawaii" and is also known as the "Big Island". The capital Honolulu is located on the island of Oahu to the northwest of the Big Island.
