Watch stunning visuals of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano as it spews lava

Hawaii's Kilauea, which is one of the world's most active volcanoes, spewed lava in a new eruption on Tuesday (Feb 11). The eruption has remained on and off for nearly two months since it went live on December 23. People flocked to the sites inside the national park to look at the stunning views of the eruption. 

The eruption has been taking place at the volcano's summit crater inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. So far, residential areas have not been threatened by lava. 

Kilauea is located on Hawaii's Big Island, about 200 miles (320 kilometres) southeast of Honolulu. 

The US Geological Survey (USGS) released a video showing lava coming from the volcano's caldera against the night sky at 6:33 pm (0433 GMT, February 12). 

The latest eruption began on Tuesday at 10:16 am (2016 GMT). It has marked Kilauea's ninth eruptive episode since it came back to life in late December.

As per USGS, lava fountains from the north vent were estimated to be roughly 330 feet (100 metres) high at 10:45 am (2045 GMT). The lava covered about a quarter of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor, which is a pit crater within the much larger Kilauea caldera.

Since 1983, Kilauea has been extremely active and erupts rather frequently. Along with Mauna Loa, the world's largest volcano, it is one of six active volcanoes in the Hawaiian Islands.

Despite being much smaller than nearby Mauna Loa, Kilauea is far more active and frequently dazzles tourists in helicopters with its fiery performances.
