The area where the eruption occurs has been closed to visitors since 2007 due to the risk of falling rocks and the destruction of the crater walls.
One of the world’s most powerful volcanoes, called Kilauea, erupted in Hawaii. Scripps News reported this on Monday, December 23.
The eruption began at dawn on Monday, December 23, local time.
Footage from a camera located in the crater of the volcano shows a lava geyser rising into the air, its height at its highest point reaching more than 80 meters.
There is no immediate danger to residents because volcanic activity is limited to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, according to the Hawaii Volcano Observatory. The park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, encompasses the summits of two of the world’s most active volcanoes: Kilauea and Mauna Loa.
But authorities warn that the threat is posed by volcanic smog, which can reach populated areas with the help of winds.
Smoke from erupted lava contains sulfur dioxide, an irritating gas with a pungent odor that can worsen symptoms in people with respiratory conditions such as asthma and heart disease.

The last eruption at Kilauea was recorded in June 2023.
A volcanic eruption began on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland, south of the capital Reykjavik.
Let’s remember that in early November, one of the most active volcanoes, Levotobi Laki Laki, erupted on the island of Flores in Indonesia. At least 10 people died.
