Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been repeatedly disgorging lava at its summit crater about once a week since late last year.
Kilauea's lava soared as high as a skyscraper during a 6-hour eruption. Here's what to know
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted for six hours on Wednesday. Officials say lava fountains reached 1,300 feet or 400 meters before petering out.
