Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano, which was heavily damaged by a volcanic eruption two years ago, erupted again.

The erupted lava entered the crater and did not cause any personal damage, but a cloud of vapor soared 9 kilometers in the air during the eruption.

On the night of the 20th Sunday, Kilauea volcano erupted on the Big Island of Hawaii, USA.

The eruption has begun from the crater of Halemaumau on the top of the mountain.

One hour after the eruption of the volcano, an earthquake of magnitude 4.4 occurred, followed by 7 aftershocks.

Red lava flows from the top of the mountain to the crater below.

This is a video taken at the time of the eruption taken by the U.S. Geological Survey’s web camera.

The lava oscillates as it interacts with the pool of water inside the crater.

Violent explosions were repeated for a short period of time, and reddish lava erupted up to 50 meters in the air.

When the volcano erupted, disaster authorities in Hawaii issued an ash fall warning.

However, there was no resident referral order.

This is because the erupted lava did not flow out of the mountain, but into the crater.

No casualties have been reported from volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

As the volcano calmed down little by little, tourists lined up to see the lava.

The day after the explosion, a cloud of steam formed as the lava flowed down and met the water in the lake created a spectacular view of 9 kilometers.

Kilauea Volcano erupted in 2018, spewing out huge amounts of lava, destroying more than 700 homes.

At that time, the erupted lava alone was enough to fill 320,000 Olympic standard swimming pools.
