Kīlauea Volcano
Kīlauea Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, located on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is part of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and has been erupting continuously since 1983, with significant eruptions occurring in 2018 and 2020. Kīlauea is a shield volcano, characterized by its broad, gently sloping sides formed by the flow of low-viscosity lava.
The volcano is closely monitored by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to ensure public safety and to study its geological activity. Kīlauea's eruptions create new land and can significantly alter the landscape, making it a fascinating site for both scientists and visitors interested in volcanic activity.
