The current eruption is restricted to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, one of the most active volcanoes, began erupting on Wednesday morning, the country's Volcano Observatory said, as per a report in CNN.
They said in a statement, "At approximately 4:44 a.m. HST on June 7, 2023, the (US Geological Survey's) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory detected glow in Kilauea summit webcam images indicating that an eruption has commenced within Halema'uma'u crater in Kilauea's summit caldera, within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The opening phases of eruptions are dynamic. Webcam imagery shows fissures at the base of Halema'uma'u crater generating lava flows on the surface of the crater floor. The activity is confined to Halema'uma'u and the hazards will be reassessed as the eruption progresses."
The current eruption is restricted to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. According to the observatory, it has "constant communication" with park authorities.
