Hawaii, Kilauea and the volcano
Digest more
Kilauea, a volcano in Hawaii, began erupting on Tuesday morning, releasing large volcanic particles into the air, according to officials.
Most webcams used by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory take a snapshot every few minutes to conserve bandwidth, but three webcams are currently “livestreaming” — meaning they transmit real-time video to the public. All three have been a vital part of monitoring the ongoing episodic lava fountains at the summit of Kilauea.
