Kilauea volcano, located along the southeastern shore of the Big Island of Hawaii, began erupting Wednesday morning at 4:44 local time.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory cameras detected a glow coming from the volcano in the early morning hours.“Webcam imagery shows fissures at the base of Halemaʻumaʻu crater generating lava flows on the surface of the crater floor,” USGS said. “The activity is confined to Halemaʻumaʻu and the hazards will be reassessed as the eruption progresses.” National Weather Service of Honolulu said the volcanic eruptions could cause “very light ashfall” until at least 6:00 p.m. local time for the Puna, Kau, and South Kona districts on the Big Island.
