Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano is currently spewing fiery red-orange lava up to 250 feet high from its north vent – in what’s called "Episode 8" of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption.
The 2018 lower Puna eruption was a volcanic event on the island of Hawaiʻi, on Kīlauea volcano's East Rift Zone that began on May 3, 2018.

A Hawaiian eruption is a type of volcanic eruption where lava flows from the vent in a relatively gentle, low level eruption; it is so named because it is characteristic of Hawaiian volcanoes. Typically they are effusive eruptions , with basaltic magmas of low viscosity , low content of gases, and high temperature at the vent.
