A Hawaiian island has been showered with 32ft-high lava fountains from an active volcano.

The eruption of Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, began on Sunday in a remote area on the southern tip of Hawaii Island.

The volcano’s activity increased early Tuesday but geologists said that, despite the 32ft-high lava fountains, it did not present a threat to homes or residents.

Kilauea, Hawaii’s second largest volcano, last erupted in June. In 2018, earthquakes and a major eruption at Kilauea led to the destruction of hundreds of homes and businesses.
