Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted again this week, spewing lava 500 feet into the air from the crater at its summit, the U.S. Geological Survey said . The eruption ended around 8 p.m. local time on Tuesday night, after producing approximately 337 million cubic feet of molten rock over a 13-hour period.
This marked the 32nd episode in an ongoing eruption event at Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, which began in December.
Lava from the eruption has been contained inside the summit of the crater at Hawaii Volcanoes National State Park, a massive protected and uninhabited area located on the Big Island of Hawaii.
