		</div><p>Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, began erupting early on Monday in an area that last erupted a half-century ago, the US Geological Survey’s (USGS) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.</p>
<p>The eruption is about 1.6km south of the Kilauea caldera, in an area within Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park that last erupted in December 1974.</p>
<p>The area surrounding the caldera has been closed to the public since 2008 because of other hazards, including ground cracking, instability in the crater wall and rockfalls.</p>
<p>“Glow is visible in webcam imagery, indicating that lava is currently erupting from fissures,” the USGS observatory said.</p>
<p>The eruption in 1974 only lasted about six hours. The observatory said it is not yet possible to tell how long this eruption will last.</p>
<p>Typically the primary hazard during during Kilauea eruptions is volcanic gas, which reacts with the atmosphere to create volcanic smog, or “vog”.</p>
<p>The vog can present health hazards for residents and visitors, damage plants and affect livestock, the observatory said.</p>
<p>The observatory logged roughly 250 earthquakes beneath the Kilauea summit in the hours before the eruption began.</p>
<p>The observatory said it would issue updates on the eruption daily, as well as whenever there are significant changes in volcanic activity.</p>
