Hawaii: Kilauea Volcano Erupts Again!

Kilauea, one of the world’s active volcanoes, resumed erupting on Wednesday after a three-month break, exhibiting fountains of rhythmic, shimmering lava at a safe distance from people and structures in a Big Island national park of Hawaii, said AP.
A light was spotted in webcam shots from Kilauea’s summit early Friday, indicating that an eruption was taking place within the top caldera’s Halemaumau crater, according to the US Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
Before issuing the eruption warning, the observatory stated that increasing seismic activity and changes in ground deformation patterns at the summit began Tuesday night, indicating magma movement in the subsurface.
Observatory geologist Mike Zoeller said: “We’re not seeing any signs of activity out on the rift zones right now… There’s no reason to expect a rift eruption that would endanger any communities on the island with lava flows or anything like that.”
