Kilauea volcano has erupted again, just two months after it last erupted. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the volcano, located in the southeast of the island of Hawaii, began erupting around 3:15 pm on Sunday in the Halema'uma'u crater. Some seismic movement was also recorded.
Although the island's residents are not in any danger at the moment, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory raised the volcanic alert from "attention" to "warning," in addition to activating the code red alert for aviation.
As can be seen in the surveillance cameras of the USGS, the crater has several fissures through which the lava is emerging.
