Kīlauea erupts in Hawaii 🌋 December 20 2020

The volcano Kīlauea erupts in Hawaii, USA. December 20th 2020. "The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island erupted late on Sunday and shot a steam cloud into the atmosphere that lasted about an hour. The eruption happened in Halema’uma’u crater, the US Geological Survey said. Kilauea is in the Hawaii Volcanoes national park. All the water evaporated out of the lake and a steam cloud shot up about 30,000ft (9km) into the atmosphere, Birchard said. The National Weather Service in Honolulu issued an advisory warning of fallen ash from the volcano. Excessive exposure to ash is an eye and respiratory irritant, it said. The agency later said the eruption was easing and a “low-level steam cloud” was lingering in the area." Read more here: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...
