Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted again early Thursday, marking its 45th episode since December 2024.
A sprawling crater at the summit of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted again, marking the 32nd episode of volcanic activity at the site since December.
The Krasheninnikov volcano sent ash more than 3.7 miles into the sky, according to staff at the Kronotsky Reserve, where the volcano is located.
Indonesian officials said it took rescuers at least five hours to retrieve Juliana Marins, the Brazilian tourist who fell down a ravine at Mount Rinjani on Lombok island.
This is the 26th lava fountaining episode recorded at Kilauea since December. Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes.
The Shiveluch volcano spewed an ash column as high as 5 mils above sea level and released a gush of lava, TASS reported Sunday morning.
A volcanic eruption started Monday night on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, turning the sky orange and prompting the civil defense to be on high alert.
One meteorological office official said he's concerned that a "Hawaiian-style, lava-producing volcanic eruption" could occur in the coming days.
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has begun erupting inside its summit crater. The eruption comes less than one month after Kilauea and its larger neighbor Mauna Loa stopped releasing lava.
"This is a rare time where we have two eruptions happening simultaneously," said a spokesperson for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Given the huge volcano's history, USGS urged residents "at risk" of lava flows to review their preparation measures.
Experts say it would take just a few hours for lava to reach homes closest to vents on the volcano, which last erupted in 1984.
