A Natural Phenomenon to Watch
On January 13 of this year, the USGS reported that the first eruption in 2026 of the aforementioned volcano occurred in Hawaii, and at that time the lava height reached 200 meters.
Kilauea, one of the five located in Hawaii, is considered one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and its formation dates back over 700,000 years when it emerged from the sea.
The largest and longest eruption of the aforementioned volcano, also considered the most extensive in the world, occurred on January 3, 1983. From January 2011, the eruption left 3.5 cubic kilometers of lava and added 123.2 square kilometers of land to the island. (Source: Prensa Latina)
