Amber lava exploded over 200 meters into the air as Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, located on Hawaii’s Big Island, erupted on Thursday.
Lava fountains began to erupt from the volcano after 11 am local time, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). On Thursday evening, plumes of smoke and lava pouring downslope were observable on a livestream camera. So far, the episode has produced 3.6 million cubic yards of lava, USGS said.
The Hawaii Volcanoes national park, a popular tourist destination for those curious to spot volcanic activity, was closed on Thursday due to the eruption.
The National Park Service cautioned visitors to wear long sleeves, long pants and eye protection to minimize exposure to volcanic ash or tephra, small glassy volcanic fragments.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/09/hawaii-kilauea-volcano-eruption
