[Rockhounds] Hawaii: Footage shows Kilauea volcano erupting again

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

*One of the world's most active volcanoes has erupted again in Hawaii,
nearly one month after it stopped releasing lava, scientists said.*

Glowing lava was observed inside Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Thursday, the
US Geological Survey said

.

Webcam images showed lava flow within the Halemaʻumaʻu crater in the
volcano's summit caldera.

Officials say the eruption currently poses no direct threat to nearby
communities.

It is the first sign of activity inside the volcano since both Kilauea and
its larger neighbour Mauna Loa stopped erupting in December.

The USGS said lava from Kilauea was flooding much of the Halema'uma'u
crater at the volcano's summit, while clouding the skies with volcanic smog.
