According to the USGS, the most recent eruption occurred in Halemaʻumaʻu, a crater in Kilauea. The service announced this Persistent fountains of lava began to erupt from two chimneys in the northern cone at 8:45 a.m. HST (1:45 p.m. Argentina) on December 6, after just over 5 hours, preliminary lava overflow.
Around 9:00 a.m. HST that day, smaller lava flows also began to emerge from the southern channel.
But what attracted the most attention began minutes later, when the two northern vents and the southern vent were seen erupting simultaneously at an altitude of about 500 feet (150 meters), resulting in an eruption triple eruption.

The highest peak occurred just before 10:00 a.m. HST when an explosion enlarged the south vent and created a fountain over 1,000 feet high (300 meters) large.
Episode 38 Expression suddenly on 8:52 HST (13:52 from Argentina)after 12 hours continuous lava flow.
This eruption occurred in a closed area of ​​Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
However, the Geological Survey urged the population to stay alarm. High levels of volcanic gas – mainly water vapor (Hâ‚‚O), carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) and sulfur dioxide (SOâ‚‚) – are a worrying danger, he said, because they have and could cause widespread impacts downwind Breathing problems.
Additionally, USGS added that people near the volcano should minimize exposure to the volcano Pele’s hair and other glassy volcanic fragments, as these can cause skin and eye irritation.
Pele’s Hairs are strands of volcanic glass, often formed by the activity of lava vents, and can reach up to 15 kilometers from the vent.
Other dangerous glassy volcanic fragments include volcanic ash, pumice or scoria, which can fall to the ground within a mile or two of eruption sources.
