Lava flows from Hawaiian volcano
Aerial video taken by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) on Wednesday (May 25) showed two new lava flows at the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island.
According to the observatory, the two breakouts began on Tuesday (May 24) and were still active on Wednesday.
On Wednesday morning, the active portions of both flows extended 1 km (0.6 miles) from their breakout points. The video shows the northern breakout, which flowed towards the northwest.
The second flow from the eastern breakout was about 1.2 km (0.75 mi) long on Wednesday, the HVO said.
