One of the world’s most active volcanoes is back in action. The Kilauea volcano at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is spewing lava once again, the seventh recorded episode in recent weeks. The eruption that began Dec.

The eruption that began Dec. 23 resumed Monday, preceded by small, sporadic spatter fountains that continued to increase in intensity to reach "sustained fountaining," the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.

Episode 7 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption at Kīlauea began at 6:41 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 27 and is currently feeding a lava flow onto the crater floor.
