Kilauea volcanoThe Kilauea volcano erupted Monday morning on Hawaii's Big Island following increased earthquake activity beneath its summit, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, began erupting around 2:30 a.m. local time within the Halemaʻumaʻu crater, which is part of the much larger Kilauea caldera at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Webcam footage showed flowing lava and a line of fissures spewing lava fountains at the base of the crater within the summit caldera, the geological survey said.

The volcano is located along the southeastern shore of the Island of Hawaii within the national park, a popular tourist destination for those hoping to catch glimpses of volcanic activity. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park encompasses the summits of two of the world's most active volcanoes: Kilauea and Mauna Loa.
