US EditionHawaii's Kilauea volcano erupts third time this year
- Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has erupted for the third time this year, after nearly three months of calm. The eruption began in Halema‘uma‘u crater at the summit caldera of the volcano, which is located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
- Kilauea is the youngest and most active volcano on the island, with several summit eruptions since 2020. While the current eruption is confined to the summit and does not pose a threat to communities, authorities have elevated the volcano alert level to 'warning' and are assessing the hazards of volcanic gas and Pele's hair, a delicate volcanic glass.
- Sunday's eruption serves as a solemn reminder of the sacredness of Kilauea's summit, which is believed to be the home of Pele, the Hawaiian volcano deity. While the eruption is safe distance from people and structures in the national park, volcanic smog and volcanic particles can cause irritation, and caution should be exercised by those in the area.
