Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, has erupted spectacularly, sending fountains of lava into the air for the second consecutive day on December 24.
The fiery display has been confined within the mountain’s summit caldera inside the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. Authorities have confirmed that no homes or communities are currently threatened by the eruption.
