Kilauea volcano in Hawaii sends lava into air as new vent opens



The Guardian:

A new vent has opened at Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, sending lava shooting up to 20 metres into the air.

The fissure eruption was spotted shortly after the floor at the Pu'u O'o crater collapsed around 5pm local time on Saturday, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.

It ran along the middle of Kilauea's east rift zone, about two miles west of Pu'u O'o.
