Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Erupts Again, Spewing Lava but Poising No Threat

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii began erupting for the second time this year on June 7, 2023
The eruption is confined to the Halema'uma'u crater within Kilauea's summit caldera with lava fountains visible from overlooks
While the alert level was raised to red, the eruption poses no threat to populated areas or infrastructure at this time
The primary hazards are volcanic gases that can irritate eyes and lungs, and Pele's hair and other volcanic fragments that can fall downwind
Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes, erupting regularly since 1983, with the potential to erupt for months
