Hawaii volcano
An ash plume rises over the summit of Kiluaea volcano, center, as seen from Pahoa, Hawaii, Tuesday, May 15, 2018.
New fissures roaring like jet engines and spewing magma have opened on Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, piling lava as high as a four-story building as the U.S. Geological Survey warned on May 13, 2018 that more outbreaks were likely.
Geologists warned on May 11, 2018 that a steam-driven eruption from the summit's Halemaumau crater could spew ash plumes 20,000 feet (6,100 metres) high and spread ash and debris up to 12 miles (19 km).
