Kilauea, an active volcano on the island of Hawaii, began its most recent eruption around 8:30 a.m. on December 6. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), lava fountains reached heights of up to 1,200 ft during Saturday's eruption. Video shows "hot pumice and molten spatter" from the volcano's enlarged south vent knocking out a camera that was live streaming the eruption.
