One of the world’s most active volcanoes is back in action. The Kilauea volcano at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is spewing lava once again, the seventh recorded episode in recent weeks. The eruption that began Dec.

KILAUEA, Hawaii (Island News) -- Kilauea is bursting with fountains of lava in its latest volcanic activity that began this evening.

Episode seven of the ongoing Halemaumau eruption began at 6:42 p.m. and is currently feeding a small flow on the crater floor, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Lava fountains are 10- to 20-feet high and this episode is likely to last 10 to 20 hours, scientists said.

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has a YouTube live feed of the eruption taken from a safe distance that shows the full lava flow into the caldera, which at night (as it is as of the time of this article being published due to Hawaii's time difference) illuminates brilliantly.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that fountains on the north side of the crater are now reaching heights of 100 to 120 feet (30 to 40 metres) and feeding multiple streams of lava. Additionally, a smaller fountain is visible on the south side, accompanied by a small emerging lava flow.

One of the world’s most active volcanoes, located in Kilauea, Hawaii, erupted for the seventh time since December on Monday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
