The U.S. Geological Survey announced that the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii began erupting yesterday afternoon, and the lava flows are currently confined to the area surrounding the volcano's crater. Terrifying scenes from the Kilauea volcano eruption in Hawaii were captured. Online camera footage showed cracks at the base of the volcano's crater generating lava flows on the surface of the crater floor. The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency stated on X (formerly Twitter) that the eruption "poses no threat to populated areas due to the lava flow," although volcanic particles and gases could cause breathing problems for those exposed to them. A series of strong earthquakes preceded the eruption, according to Reuters.
In contrast, a snowstorm has hit southwestern Argentina due to the expansion of polar currents. The storm covered streets and vehicles, transforming the scene into piles of snow.
