The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupted on December 23, 2024, spewing lava and volcanic gases into the atmosphere. The eruption began early in the morning, producing lava fountains reaching 80 meters high and creating a plume of volcanic gas that ascends to altitudes of up to 2,400 meters. The event, which is contained within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, is generating volcanic smog known as vog, posing potential risks to health, animals, and agriculture. Fortunately, the eruption appears stable and poses no threat to infrastructure.
