The Hawaii volcano, Mount Kilauea, shows no signs of simmering down, as new video footage reveals the extent of the carnage caused by lava flowing from Kilauea’s Fissure 8 in Leilani Estates.

The footage, released by the Hawaii Army National Guard, shows lava spurting almost 50 feet into the air from the fissure opening before flowing to the sea in river of molten rock up to 100 feet wide.

Hawaii was rocked by renewed volcanic activity in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The US Geological Survey confirmed that more than 180 explosions and earthquakes struck the area around Kilauea’s summit.

Seismicity on Thursday recorded 40 earthquakes an hour, with five of those greater than magnitude 3.

However, experts at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center confirmed that there was no risk of a tsunami triggered by the huge explosions.

Lava now covers 5,914 acres, or 9.24 square miles, the Hawaii Civil Defense Agency confirmed on Saturday.

Volcanologists at the United States Geological Survey reported they had spotted strong summit deformation at the Kilauea summit in satellite data.
