Accounting The keeper that in the crater of the volcano, fountains of lava are visible, covering the ground, as well as soaring clouds of volcanic gas. In the same area, at various times during the eruptions of the Kilauea volcanoes, there was a large lake of lava.

Although at the alert level – and this is a red warning for aviation – the eruption is not located in an area with houses, but is entirely concentrated in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Authorities said Wednesday that an increase in seismic activity had been detected in the soil modifications, so surveillance is continuing.

The last major eruption of Kilauea occurred in 2018, which destroyed more than 700 homes and displaced thousands of residents. Prior to this, the volcano erupted slowly for decades, but mostly not in densely populated residential areas.

Kilauea Volcano is located in the southeast of the Big Island of Hawaii and is home to approximately 185,000 people. Kilauea, at 1,200 meters above sea level, is one of the most active in the world and one of only five existing in this North American archipelago, where continuous eruptions have occurred since 1983.
