Hawaii's Kilauea erupts again in a remote area

00:49

Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, began erupting on June 3 in a remote area that last erupted half a century ago.

The eruption occurred about 1.6 kilometers south of the Kilauea Caldera, in an area within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park that last erupted in December 1974. The area has been closed to the public since 2008 because of other hazards, including ground cracking and instability in the crater wall and rockfalls.
