United States: Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupts for the 37th time this year

teleSUR English

The on-and-off eruption that has been dazzling residents and visitors on Hawaii’s Big Island for nearly a year resumed Tuesday as Kilauea volcano sent fountains of lava soaring 122 meters into the air. The molten rock was confined within Kilauea’s summit caldera inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed no homes were threatened. This marks the 37th eruption since last December, following sporadic spattering and overflows that began Friday. Each eruptive episode has lasted about a day or less, with pauses of several days in between. Kilauea is considered one of the world’s most active volcanoes and one of six active volcanoes in Hawaii.    #teleSUREnglish #UnitedStates #Hawaii #Kilauea #Volcano
