NOW! Hawaii's Kilauea volcano begins erupting - Kilauea Lava Lake

A lava lake is a pool of molten lava that persists in a vent or crater of a volcano. Lava lakes in Hawaiʻi are among the few that can be found in the world, and they have been a source of scientific study and fascination for many years. Lava lakes are constantly changing and can drain and refill, or even disappear completely, depending on the activity and volcano. Observing the lava lakes can be a unique and exciting experience, but it is important to remember that visiting an active volcano can be dangerous, and visitors should always follow safety guidelines and restrictions.
Kīlauea volcano is erupting. Elevated earthquake activity beneath the summit began at approximately 2 a.m. HST this morning, December 23. By 2:30 a.m., the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory observed eruptive activity in Kīlauea summit webcam images, indicating that an eruption has commenced within Halemaʻumaʻu and the summit caldera in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
