Kilauea on Hawaii’s Big Island, one of world’s most active volcanoes, erupts

Eruption was confined to volcano’s summit caldera, with torrents of red-hot lava and cloud-line plumes of gas visible

Red torrents of lava and billows of volcanic gas began erupting from Kilauea on Hawaii’s Big Island – one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

The eruption was confined to the volcano’s summit caldera, in a remote, closed area of Hawaii Volcanoes national park, the Hawaii Volcano Observatory reported. Increased earthquake activity began at about 2am local time and within about half an hour webcam images began to show lava emerging through fissures in the caldera or spurting in fountains.
