Kilauea began continuously releasing lava from its summit caldera inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on Wednesday morning after a weeklong pause, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The molten rock was contained within the park and wasn't threatening residential areas.

Lava began bubbling out of Hawaii’s most active volcano once again on Tuesday as Kilauea’s sporadic eruption resumed.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported today that the “high fountain phase” of episode 16 of the ongoing Kilauea eruption begun at 10:24 a.m.
