Kilauea

Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes, located on the Big Island of Hawaii. It has been erupting frequently since 1983, primarily producing lava flows that reshaped the landscape. Kilauea is known for its shield volcano structure, characterized by broad, gently sloping sides formed by fluid lava. The volcano is also significant in Hawaiian culture, associated with Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes. Its eruptions can impact air quality and local communities but also create new land and attract scientists and tourists eager to witness volcanic activity.
