After days of quietly belching volcanic gasses, one of the world’s most active and dangerous volcanos began spewing lava again on the island of Hawaiʻi.
At 9:11 a.m. Eastern Time on Sept. 19, an enormous fountain of lava began spurting from the Kilauea caldera with arcs of orange molten rock reaching up to 700 feet high. A huge plume of gas and steam soared 10,000 feet overhead.
