On Friday, Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted for the 31st time since December, sending lava fountains soaring up to 30 meters into the air 🌋🔥. The fiery display stayed safely within the summit crater at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, thrilling onlookers and livestream fans around the world.
Although the glowing lava jets make for an unforgettable show, there’s no danger to homes or communities. Scientists explain this blast is part of the same ongoing eruption that began late last year—an event that could mirror Kilauea’s epic, decades-long outburst that lasted until 2018.
