Explosive Eruption at Hawaii's Iconic Kilauea Volcano Lights Up Night Sky
Spectacular lava display as Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupts, shooting plumes of lava high into the air and illuminating the night skies. Latest updates on the volcanic activity.
Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, has erupted in spectacular fashion on Hawaii's Big Island, with lava shooting up to 65 feet (20 meters) into the air and casting an eerie glow across the night sky.
The eruption, which began late Sunday evening, has transfixed onlookers and sent a stark reminder of the raw power of nature. Kilauea is known for its relatively gentle, continuous effusive eruptions, but this latest event has been more explosive, likely due to a rise in magma levels within the volcano's summit crater.

However, authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have warned residents to be prepared for possible changes.
