New lava fountains erupted from the Kilauea volcano in the US state of Hawaii, in a renewed volcanic event that comes after about a year since the last eruption of one of the most active volcanoes in the world, according to official scientific reports.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, part of the US Geological Survey, stated in a statement that an active eruption is currently ongoing, with lava fountains erupting between 15 and 30 meters from the northern vent, with a rapid increase in the size of the fountains and the expansion of their activity. The US Geological Survey explained that this event represents the 38th explosion in the ongoing series of eruptions of the volcano, noting that it began at 8:45 AM local time (18:45 GMT), when molten rock and hot gases began flowing from the earth's interior to the surface. Kilauea volcano is one of the most prominent volcanic sites in the world due to its frequent activity, which makes each new eruption subject to careful and permanent scientific monitoring.
