Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano launched into an explosive eruption on May 3, sending a huge ash plume thousands of feet into the air and causing huge lava fountains as the molten liquid dramatically burst through fissures – or cracks – in the floor.
Much of the destruction from the ongoing eruption of Kilauea over the past several weeks has been centred on the lower Eastern Rift Zone.
But more than 20 fissures have erupted in the rift zone, sending lava flows to the ocean and destroying entire communities in the process.
And the magma which is feeding the rivers of lava has drained out of Halema‘uma‘u, Kilauea’s summit crater, which in turn has caused the walls of the crater to collapse and fall in on themselves.
Here is the latest news and live updates on the Hawaii volcano eruption.
