On Monday, one of the world's most active volcanoes, Kilauea volcano on Hawaii island, erupted after a three-month hiatus. The eruption, as reported by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), began at approximately 2:20 a.m., spewing bright orange lava as high as 300 feet.
The eruption continued throughout the day, attracting crowds to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which remained open to the public 24 hours a day. The USGS provided a livestream of the spectacle, capturing the lava fountains flowing and spreading across the caldera floor.
