Hawaii, Kilauea and the volcano
Digest more
Kilauea, a volcano in Hawaii, began erupting on Tuesday morning, releasing large volcanic particles into the air, according to officials.
The well-known Mount Kīlauea Volcano erupted for the 43rd time on Tuesday in Hawaii, and people in the area are being advised to take protective measures from ashfall.
Most webcams used by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory take a snapshot every few minutes to conserve bandwidth, but three webcams are currently “livestreaming” — meaning they transmit real-time video to the public. All three have been a vital part of monitoring the ongoing episodic lava fountains at the summit of Kilauea.
