HONOLULU, May 26 (UPI) — Two lava flows emerged from Kilauea, the most active volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.
Geologists captured still and video images of the lava creeping down the same side of the volcano that caused evacuations in 2014.
This time, however, scientists said there is currently no danger from the molten rock flow. The flows are less than a mile long each, mostly flowing toward the northwest.
Officials said the lava flow is not threatening any homes.
In 2014, a lava flow from the same volcano caused massive destruction.PresidentBarack Obama called it a “major disaster.” The lava traveled some 13 miles from June to January, destroying everything in its path. Homes and schools were evacuated and the National Guard was deployed.
