This is the incredible moment of an eruption at a volcanic crater in Hawaii which creates a pool of hot lava as experts now fear the health risks it poses.The shocking footage was recorded at the active shield volcano of Kilauea located in the resort islands of Hawaii in the American state with the same name on 18th February.The eruption at the large volcano started in December 2020 but has been largely restricted to a crater in the volcano called Halema‘uma‘u.(@USGSVolcanoes/Newsflash)
