A glow from the Hawaii volcano eruption was seen during the overnight darkness, officials said.
A volcano erupted in Hawaii early Monday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The agency's Hawaii an Volcano Observatory issued a warning that the Kilauea volcano eruption on the Big Island could shoot volcanic ash into the atmosphere.The observatory said Monday's activity was limited to the area around the volcano's summit. According to the agency, the eruption started around 12:30 a.m.
The gas reacts with the atmosphere to create volcanic smog, known as vog, which can cause airborne health hazards for people and damage plants, according to the observatory. The last eruption on Kilauea was in September 2023 and lasted for a week, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. There hasn't been an eruption in the area of Monday's activity in nearly 50 years. The December 1974 eruption lasted about six hours, the observatory said.
