Hawaii’s erupting Kilauea volcano is spewing ‘vog’ and may launch dangerous glass shards

In a fiery and ongoing eruption, Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano started spewing lava on June 7, sending molten rock to the encompassing crater and reaching temperatures as excessive as 2,100 levels Fahrenheit (1,150 levels Celsius), in line with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Kilauea, situated on Hawaii’s Massive Island, is likely one of the world’s most energetic volcanoes, and has been erupting virtually repeatedly since 1983. The USGS briefly deemed the eruption a code crimson, the best danger alert stage, however downgraded it to orange the subsequent day “as a result of the preliminary excessive effusion charges have declined, and no infrastructure is threatened,” the USGS stated in a June 8 assertion, including that the lava from the eruption is confined to the Halemaʻumaʻu pit crater inside Kilauea’s summit.
