00:00Imagine a wall of lava taller than the Eiffel Tower, erupting right now in Hawaii.
00:05Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii's Big Island is putting on a fiery show like no other.
00:10In its 36th episode since December 2024, the volcano launched fountains of molten lava up to 1,100 feet high.
00:18And during a previous episode, it hit 1,500 feet, the tallest fountain of this eruption series.
00:24This latest eruption lasted nearly five hours.
00:27Lava gushed so fiercely, it covered 80% of the Halema'uma'u crater floor.
00:32And this all happened inside Hawaii Volcano's National Park, safely away from residents.
00:38Experts say the style of these eruptions hasn't been seen since the early 1980s.
00:42Each episode blasts millions of cubic yards of lava in just hours, creating stunning displays and serious hazards.
00:50From volcanic glass called Pelle's Hair, to flying pumice, rock falls, and ground cracks,
00:55Kilauea's fire isn't just beautiful, it's dangerous.
00:59With more eruptions likely.
01:01The volcano's code orange alert remains in place.
01:04And the world watches in awe as Kilauea continues to breathe fire.
01:08Bye-bye.
