One of the world's most active volcanoes has erupted again, with lava spewing from Kilauea in Hawaii on Wednesday. Scientists at the United States Geological Survey said they began detecting activity early on Wednesday morning, all well within the confines of the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and away from population centers. 

The eruption comes months after Kilauea's bigger neighbor Mauna Loa treated volcano watchers to a spectacular display. Kilauea is one of six active volcanoes on the Hawaiian Islands. It erupted almost continuously between 1983 and 2019.
