Kilauea Erupts: Watch Live as Volcano Shoots Lava Fountains 1,250 Feet High

Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano is celebrating its one-year eruption anniversary the only way it knows how: by turning the night sky into a fireworks show from the center of the Earth. Lava fountains are currently blasting up to 1,250 feet—taller than the Eiffel Tower—straight out of Halema?uma?u crater like nature’s most dramatic middle finger to gravity. The USGS is calmly livestreaming the whole thing while quietly reminding everyone that, yes, this is normal behavior for one of the planet’s most active volcanoes, so please enjoy the show from a safe distance.
