Lava from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano spews ‘showers of gold’ 600 feet in the air during latest eruption

The USGS said each lava fountain episode has lasted about 13 hours and has been separated by pauses in activity for about a day to 12 days between episodes.

With the on-and-off lava fountains, Volcanoes National Park guests have been treated to amazing views from a safe distance.

However, NPS officials warn that volcanic activity can produce hazardous gases like sulfur dioxide.
