HONOLULU—People were flocking to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on Wednesday to get a glimpse of fountaining lava.

The eruption that began Dec. 23 in a crater at the summit of Kilauea volcano has paused periodically. It resumed Wednesday morning as a “small sluggish lava flow,” and then increased into a fountain that appeared to be 200 feet high, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.
