Kilauea still spurting lava, 1 month into latest eruption

Lava continued to pour out of Kilauea’s summit crater Friday, one month after the latest eruption began.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said Friday lava was emerging from a single vent inside Halema‘uma‘u Crater. The eruption remains contained within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and isn’t threatening any homes.

Nighttime aerial video shot from a helicopter shows lava gushing from a vent and spreading across the crater floor.

Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. It’s erupted dozens of times since 1952.

The latest eruption began inside the crater on Sept. 29.

they make it sound like its pouring into an empty saucer or something. Weird writing. I guess technically the sides of the crater are also its floor?
