World’s biggest active volcano erupting right now!
(CNN, KYMA/KECY) - The biggest active volcano on earth is erupting right now and, it's happening in the United States.
Lava that's some 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit is flowing on Hawaii's biggest island.
This is Mauna Loa, and it's erupting for the first time in almost forty years.
It's on what's called the "Big island" where the census bureau says just over 200,000 people live.
Scientists say the lava is flowing into the northeast rift zone and will likely stop before reaching the large town below.
But, many Hawaiians know the dangers of the volcanos that shape their land.
This video is from when nearby Kilauea erupted in 2018.
It began a less dangerous recurrence last year, so this is a rare dual eruption on the island.
