Lava, Milky Way, & Ocean – Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaii by John S

Kīlauea Volcano is an active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands. Historically, it is the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. Located along the southeastern shore of the island, the volcano is between 210,000 and 280,000 years old and emerged above sea level about 100,000 years ago. Its most recent eruption began on December 20, 2020. Vigorous eruptive lava fountains in lower Puna sent destructive rivers of molten rock into the Pacific ocean.
