Hawaii's Kilauea volcano put on a dramatic display Sunday night, shooting lava fountains over 1,000 feet into the air.

In an update, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported: “Lava fountains from the north vent are exceeding 1,000 feet (300 metres) in height,” and added that the south vent became active about an hour later, producing lava fountains of up to 230 feet.

Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, and the most active among the five volcanos that together form the Big Island Current hazards include volcanic gas emissions and windblown volcanic glass (Pele's Hair) that may impact Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and nearby communities, officials said So far, no residential areas have been threatened by lava flows This volcano is between 210,000 and 280,000 years old, but did not grow above sea level until roughly 100,000 years ago.
