Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano resumed erupting Friday by shooting an arc of lava 100 feet into the air and across a section of its summit crater floor.

A video shared by the USGS shows scientists gathering data from the latest eruptive episode at Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, which sent lava blasting 1,000 feet from the mountain in a stunning display of the power of mother nature.
