Hawaii's Kilauea started erupting inside its summit crater, less than one month after the volcano and its larger neighbor Mauna Loa stopped releasing lava.
The U.S. Geological Survey stated that the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory detected a glow in webcam images indicating Kilauea had begun erupting inside Halemaumau crater at the volcano's summit caldera once again.
Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes, as it last erupted for 16 months starting from September 2021.
On 27 Nov., Hawaii witnessed two volcanoes spewing lava side by side for about two weeks when Mauna Loa erupted for the first time in 38 years. Both volcanoes stopped erupting at about the same time.
"It was a beautiful eruption, and lots of people got to see it, and it didn't take out any major infrastructure and most importantly, it didn't affect anybody's life," said Ken Hon, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory's scientist in charge.
