Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Summit Just Exploded

  • 6 years ago
For about two weeks there's been increased activity at Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island. And now, the summit crater on Thursday has just had a massive explosion that sent ash 30,000 feet into the sky. No injuries or deaths were immediately reported. Scientists have been warning residents and visitors for days to expect a possible explosive eruption. Kilauea has only had two major explosive eruptions since 1790, and both were deadly.
