Lava continues to flow from one of the world's largest volcanoes, days later explosion of Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii began.
The eruption, which began on Monday, remained at the top of the volcano inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Live pictures broadcast on the Internet The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has reported an eruption of lava from the Halema'uma'u basin, northwest of the caldera, early Wednesday.
The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the eruption began at 2:00am (12:00 GMT) on Monday.
“At 4:30am (14:30 GMT), lava fountains were seen as high as 80 meters (262 feet),” the agency said.
“Melting material, including lava bombs, is being released from the bottom of the caldera to the west of the caldera.”
The eruption occurred in an area that has been closed to the public since 2007 due to hazards that include the instability of the crater wall and rocks. Visitors to the park were able to view the base from a distance from an unseen vantage point.
This week's eruption is the sixth The Kilauea Summit caldera from 2020.
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park includes the peaks of two of the world's most active volcanoes: Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Kilauea erupted again in June and September.
