Experts say another eruption from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano is imminent, as livestream footage shows lava beginning to flow from its summit this weekend.
Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, has been erupting on and off for nearly two months since it burst to life on Dec. 23.
The eruption, the second in less than a month, came after a swarm of earthquakes near the town of Grindavik, and the community was evacuated.
One meteorological office official said he's concerned that a "Hawaiian-style, lava-producing volcanic eruption" could occur in the coming days.
Lava flows have been observed on the surface of the volcano's crater floor, officials said, as the eruption began early in the morning.
Given the huge volcano's history, USGS urged residents "at risk" of lava flows to review their preparation measures.
Explosions are intensifying at Guatemala's Fuego volcano as emergency crews continue the search Wednesday.
Two tiny dogs in Hawaii have been rescued after they were found trapped between a fence and the dangerous lava flows.
A new volcanic fissure on Hawaii's Big Island sent gases and lava exploding into the air.
Mount Everest gets all the credit, but Hawaii's Mauna Kea (an idle volcano that's been around for, you know, a million years) is technically the world's tallest mountain. Technically. While it stands 13,800ft above sea level, more than two thirds of the hill is actually submerged underwater, which brings the total height to 33,136ft.
