HONOLULU – Scientists were pretending to be a high lava fountain in the latest episode of an ongoing eruption at Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano on Tuesday.
The lava fountain reached 1,000 feet (305 meters) high during a recent eruption episode, and marveled at the fiery glow as he visited Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The 17th episode began Monday night and produced 15-30 feet (4.5-9 meters) high, ranging from 15-30 feet (4.5-9 meters) according to the latest information from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory of the US Geological Survey.
“The high lava fountains are likely to follow the current low fountains and lava flows,” the observation deck said.
Over 1,200 viewers watched the USGS live stream of lava on Tuesday morning.
Lava remains in the volcanic summit caldera and in the park, and residential areas are not threatened.
