Kilauea Volcano Erupts Again
The latest eruption has drawn thousands of visitors to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, though officials have warned of potential gas hazards.
While the lava remains contained within the crater and poses no immediate threat to residential areas, the frequent activity is reshaping the island's landscape.
Scientists are using the event to gather new data on volcanic plumbing systems and the timing of deep-magma movements.
Live camera feeds have been established to allow the public to view the spectacular display of earth's internal forces from a safe distance.
