Kilauea volcano has been erupting at semiregular intervals since late last year, shooting spectacular lava fountains that remain safely contained within its summit crater.

Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano has continued its series of semiregular eruptions, sending lava high above its summit crater since late last year.

Scientists report dozens of episodes following the same magma pathway, with fountains reaching up to 400 metres, according to the US Geological Survey.

The activity remains confined within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, posing no risk to nearby homes.

Visitors can observe the spectacle from designated viewpoints, while livestreams provided by U.S. geologists attract strong online interest.
