Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano erupted early Wednesday, August 6, as the sun rose. USGS video shows the massive eruption, with lava fountains, lava flows, and lava pools within the summit caldera.
According to the USGS, Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Since late 2024, repeated activity has been recorded at the volcano.
The latest USGS report shows the opening of a new fissure, more powerful lava eruptions, and a series of small earthquakes around the area.
Experts continue to monitor the volcano's activity to ensure the safety of residents in the area. There have been no reports of damage or fatalities, but caution is still advised.
