Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Erupts Again; No Threat To Homes At This Time

One of the most active volcanoes on Earth is once again erupting on Hawaii's Big Island.

  • The Kilauea volcano started spewing lava on Wednesday afternoon.
  • Officials said, so far, there is no danger to nearby residents.
  • The eruption is entirely contained within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, according to scientists.
  • Kilauea had a major eruption in 2018 that destroyed more than 700 homes and displaced thousands of residents. 
  • Over four months in 2018, Kilauea spewed enough lava to fill 320,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools, burying an area more than half the size of Manhattan in up to 80 feet of now-hardened lava.
