00:00The ground is shaking, and Kilauea is about to erupt again.
00:03For the 31st time since December,
00:05Hawaii's most active volcano is preparing for another fiery show.
00:10Lava fountains could shoot 1,000 feet in the air,
00:13lighting up the sky in red and orange.
00:15And if you're lucky enough to be at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park,
00:18you'll feel the heat from over a mile away.
00:21Volunteer Janice Wei says it sounds like a roaring jet engine.
00:24Scientists say magma is rising from deep within the Earth,
00:27filling underground chambers like a shaken bottle of champagne,
00:31just waiting to explode.
00:32This isn't just science. It's sacred.
00:35Native Hawaiians believe the crater is home to the volcano goddess Pele.
00:39And hula dancers like Huihui Kanaheli Mossman visit to chant,
00:43give offerings, and witness the stories of their ancestors come to life in fire.
00:48Thousands are watching via livestream.
00:50But if you're going in person, stay safe, stay on trails,
00:54and never turn your back on a volcano.
00:55Because with Kilauea, you never know when the next eruption will begin.
