Most active in world: Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupts

According to the US Geological Survey, Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, located in Hawaii, has begun to erupt again.

The USGS raised the alarm on Monday as the volcano Kilauea on Hawaii's Big Island awakened.

The Volcano Alert Level for ground-based hazards was raised from watch to warning, and the "Aviation Color Code" was changed from orange to red after the new eruption started around 12.30 am local time on June 3rd.

A red alert signifies that a volcanic eruption is imminent, underway, or suspected, with potential hazardous activity on the ground and in the air. So far, no Pele's hair has been observed at the eruption site.

Kilauea began erupting south of the caldera and north of the Koa'e fault system and Hilina Pali Road, within Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The most recent eruption in this region was during December 1974, which lasted only about 6 hours.

The open fissure is more than a mile long and is in a closed and rugged area. This eruption could continue for a few hours to a couple of days.
