Lava emerged from the north vent in Halemaumau Crater after midnight. The vent began shooting fountains of lava at 6.35am (local time), the US Geological Survey said. By mid-morning, it was also erupting from the crater's south vent and a third vent in between.

Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes. It's located on Hawaii Island, the largest of the Hawaiian archipelago. It’s about 320km south of the state’s largest city, Honolulu, on Oahu.
