Kilauea Erupts in Hawaii With ‘Incandescent’ Glow
Kilauea, the youngest and most active volcano
on the Big Island of Hawaii, erupted
early Wednesday morning, officials said, sending fountains
of lava
spewing
skyward
before pooling
and spreading across its summit
. The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory detected a glow
in the web camera of the Kilauea summit and said the volcano began erupting around 4:44 a.m. local time. Less than an hour later, the lava created a brilliant
black-and-orange web across the crater
’s floor. As dawn
broke, a livestream showed lava still bubbling
but its surface beginning to harden
.
