Less than a month after the larger Mauna Loa volcano and Hawaii's Kilauea volcano ceased spilling lava, the U.S. Geological Survey reported that Kilauea started erupting inside its summit crater on Thursday.
Kilauea has reportedly started erupting inside Halemaumau crater at the volcano's summit caldera when the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory noticed a glow in webcam photographs, the agency said.
The summit of Kilauea is located far from populated areas, inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The U.S. Geological Survey increased the alert level for Kilauea earlier on Thursday as a result of indications that magma was flowing beneath the summit surface and the volcano may erupt.
One of the most active volcanoes on the planet is Kilauea. It last erupted in September 2021 and continued for 16 months. When Mauna Loa erupted for the first time in 38 years on November 27, Hawaii experienced two volcanoes spouting lava side by side for roughly two weeks. Around the same time, the eruptions from both volcanoes ceased.
The observatory intended to keep checking the volcanoes for indications of increased activity. Hon previously stated that it typically takes three months for an eruption to "cool off" before experts declare it to be over.
It remained unknown what would have caused the volcanoes to cease erupting at roughly the same time. In Hawaii Volcanoes National Park close to Kilauea's caldera, the volcanoes can be observed simultaneously from a number of locations.
Hon earlier stated that scientists intended to examine data to study the connection between the two volcanoes.
Volcanic eruptions have significant cultural and spiritual meaning for the native Hawaiians. Many Hawaiians participated in traditional practises during the Mauna Loa eruption, including singing, chanting, and dancing to honour Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes, and leaving "hookupu" offerings.
