January 6, 2023 – Big island, Hawaii, USA – Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano began erupting inside its summit crater Thursday January 5, less than one month after the volcano and its larger neighbor Mauna Loa stopped releasing lava. Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. It last erupted for 16 months in 2021. Hawaii had two volcanoes spewing lava side by side when Mauna Loa erupted for the first time in 38 years. Both volcanoes stopped erupting at about the same time. (Credit Image: © Kendra J. Lynn/USGS/ZUMA Press)
