The eruption began Dec. 23 in a crater at the summit of Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

This marks the eruption’s eighth episode. Small, sporadic spatter fountains began Sunday, which grew more intense, the observatory said. The fountains grew from 50 feet (15.24 meters) high to 250 feet (76.2 meters) high in an hour on Monday night.

The eruption is happening within a closed area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park without posing a threat to homes or infrastructure.
