The folks at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) do such an awesome job covering the volcanoes of our 50th State. I've often said they provide what amounts to a veritable college level course in volcanology through their beautifully done reports and updates.

A remote camera captured the moment an erupting volcano in Hawaii knocked it out while recording on Saturday (December 6). Lava spewed from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Saturday, footage from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) captured. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said sustained lava fountains of approximately 50-100 feet (15-30 meters) in height were erupting from the north vent and that the heights of the lava fountains were rapidly increasing. The eruptions were confined to t
