Dramatic moment Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano shoots lava into the sky in ‘extraordinary’ display

Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano exploded in a magnificent exhibition on Friday, because a few lucky viewers watched the molten lava watching 100 feet shots into the air.

Some inhabitants should see Kilauea’s 31st melted rock exhibition since December – a suitable number for one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

However, this is only the fourth time in the 200 years when Kilauea hit the lava fountains in the repeated sections.

The previous chapters were in 1959, 1969 and 1983.

The northern ventilation in the peak crater began to splash on Friday morning before the lava was overflowing a few hours later and the lava fountains were shot in the afternoon.

Fortunately, the explosion was in the summit crater and no house was threatened.

Lucky tourists and natives had a view at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Parking Service Volunteer Janice Wei hurries up to get photos and videos of Halemaumau crater every time the lava is back.

Wei, ‘Every explosion, the most extraordinary show of nature seems to be sitting in the front row’ he said.

Wei added that when the melted rock fired high like a foundation, it sounds like a roaring jet engine or ocean waves and could feel the temperature more than a mile.

According to the native Hawai tradition, Crater Volcano is home to the goddess Pele.

Kilauea is on Hawaii Island, about 200 miles south of Honolulu, the largest of Hawaii’s archipelago.

Hawai Volcano Observatory Chief Scientist Ken Hon, explained how the explosion took place.

A lower magma room under Halemaumau crater is directly from the inside of the Earth with approximately 3.8 cubic meters per second.

Hon, ‘Magma has been using the same path to rise to the surface since December, making the first version and subsequent sections a part of the same explosion,’ ‘he said.

Many of these explosions had lava rising to more than 1,000 feet in some cases.

Kilauea is on Hawaii Island about 200 miles south of Honolulu, the largest of Hawaii archipelago and the largest city of the state.

The fountains are partially produced, because the magma holding the gases released as they rise, the narrow, pipe -like ventilation paths travel to the surface.

Hon joked: ‘Our business is like being a group of ants that creeps in a elephant trying to understand how the elephant works.’

Scientists do not know how to end or change the existing explosion.

In 1983, Magma caused enough pressure because Kulauea opened a lower height and continuously leaking lava instead of going out of a higher height. The explosion continued in various ways for thirty years and ended in 2018.

This may be a similar thing in the existing explosion – unless the magma supplier is at the summit.

Scientists can predict a few days before when the lava will occur with the help of the sensors around Volkan, which detects the earthquakes and the tiny changes in the angle of the floor, indicating when the magma is inflated or extinguished.

Steve Lundblad, Professor of Geology at the University of Hawaii, lava fountains, although recently shorter, ‘we will still make great explosions – they will not only be wider and higher’ he said.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park spokesman Jessica Ferracane said the last few episodes took only 10 to 12 hours.

Ferracane recommends geological research warning notifications to anyone who wants to register with the US because the explosion may end before you ‘.

‘Visitors should remain on prominent trails and ministers, because the unstable cliff edges and cracks in the world may not be immediately significant and the fall may cause serious injury or death.

‘Volcanic gas, glass and ash can be dangerous. He added that night visitors should bring a flashlight.

Ferracane’s advice comes after a large rescue operation in June after a tourist Kilauea’s explosion ‘to look more closely’.

The number of tourists flocked to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park increased every month of the year due to the explosion.

For example, in April, there were 49 percent more visitors in April 2024 compared to last year.

A 30 -year -old man from Boston, an American tourist, fell 30 meters from the Byron Ledge Trail in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and was rescued by a tree branch and broken into a 100 -meter Volkan Kalde.

The search and rescue team of the park had to do a ‘high -angle’ operation, including climbing down the cliff and taking the tourist to security.

Hawaii officials also warn visitors about the potential health risks that may arise from too close to the explosions that release toxic gases.

According to disease control and prevention centers (CDC), volcanic gas and ash eyes and respiratory system may irritate and cause other symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness, headache, difficulty breathing, visual disorders and tremor.

CDC also states that long -term exposure to these volcanic air pollutants may cause lung infections such as bronchitis and respiratory disorders such as lung disease or lung cancer.

Some people can see lava flows as destructive.

However, Huihui Kanahele-Mossman, General Manager of Edith Kanaka’olle Foundation, said that Lava is a natural resource that hardens the land and forms the basis of everything on Hawaii Island.

Kanahele -Mossman’s non -profit organization was named after his grandmother – the prestigious practitioner of the Hawaii language and culture and the founder of a noted school.

Experts warn the health hazards of approaching an explosion that releases toxic gases.

Scientists are not sure when or how the existing explosion will end

Kanahele-Mossman has visited the crater several times since the explosion.

In the crater, it presents a previously prepared hymn and offers. Recently, he presented AWA, a beverage made with Kava and a Fern Lei.

‘As a dancer, you are the storytelling and you are carrying the date written in this Mele.’

‘To really see the explosion described in the stories, this is always exciting for us and it pushes us and motivates us to stay in this tradition.’
