Kilauea has just erupted, producing its tallest lava fountains of the 21st century. These lava fountains reached an impressive height of 174.8 meters or 573.5 feet, continuing on for many hours. Today's video discusses this resumption of eruptive activity, suggests how long it might last for, and gives the overall context of this latest activity.
