Kilauea, Hawaii's most active volcano, erupted early Monday morning, with magma "fountaining" through cracks near the summit. The eruption, which follows three eruptions in 2023, poses no immediate danger to residents as it is contained within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The U.S. Geological Survey raised the volcano alert level to a warning and noted that volcanic gas emissions could create health hazards. The eruption activity was starting to wane by late morning.
