Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island experiences another eruption

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano shoots lava into the sky in the latest display of a powerful eruption, ejecting molten rock into the surrounding area.

Kilauea, on Hawaii's Big Island, has been dazzling residents and visitors for more than a year with an on-and-off eruption that periodically sends fountains of lava soaring into the sky.

Some episodes have lasted a few days and others a few hours.

Like on other occasions, the molten rock was confined within Kilauea's summit crater inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and hasn't threatened homes or buildings.
