One of the world’s most active volcanoes has become active again. On June 7th, Kilauea, located in Volcanoes National Park, began spewing fountains of glowing lava from a lava lake in its caldera. The lava lake is about 4,300 feet (1,300 meters) wide, and the eruptions were up to 150 feet (46 meters) high.
You can see some terrific photos and a video clip of the volcano at the following link if you are interested.
