The world's largest active volcano has erupted for the first time in 40 years
Hawaii's Mauna Loa is continuing to spew out glowing lava, volcanic ash and debris 200ft in the air after first erupting late on Sunday night.
Despite the lava flow being yet to reach towns, they said an eruption can be "very dynamic, and the location and advance of lava flows can change rapidly". Civil Defence Director Luis Alonso Amaya said three municipalities are on alert, with 26 shelters being prepared to accommodate more than 10,000 people.
