HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano has been shooting lava from its summit crater about once a week since late last year, delighting residents, visitors and online viewers alike with a firehose of molten rock.
On Tuesday, the volcano had its 32nd episode since December. Scientists believe they are all part of the same eruption because magma has been following the same pathway to the surface.
The lava has been contained within the summit crater inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and hasn’t threatened homes or buildings.
Park visitors can see the eruption in person. Others can watch popular livestreams offering a choice of three different camera angles made possible by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Kilauea is on Hawaii Island, the largest of the Hawaiian archipelago. It’s about 200 miles (320 kilometers) south of the state’s largest city, Honolulu, which is on Oahu.
