Hawaii's Kilauea volcano began a new series of eruptions in December 2024.
The activity marked the fifth episode from the Kilauea volcano since it started to erupt on Dec. 23, 2024.
The USGS noted that observable lava flow began at 2:59 p.m. and "seismic tremor" increased at 3:00 p.m.posted Wednesday, the agency wrote that "significant hazards" of the eruption include "wall instability, ground cracking, and rockfalls." It noted that these hazards could be enhanced by earthquakes, which would endanger members of the public that ventured too close to the volcano within the national park.
It also said that it "continues to closely monitor Kilauea and will issue an eruption update tomorrow morning unless there are significant changes before then."
