Watch stunning visuals of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano as it spews lava
World | Explore the ongoing volcanic activity at Kilauea, the awe-inspiring natural phenomenon that attracts tourists to Hawaii's Big Island.
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).

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.
