| Kilauea Volcano Erupts - Dramatic Video |
 |
Kilauea is the youngest and southeastern most
volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Topographically Kilauea appears as only a
bulge on the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa,
and so for many years Kilauea was thought to
be a mere satellite of its giant neighbor,
not a separate volcano. However, research
over the past few decades shows clearly that
Kilauea has its own magma-plumbing system,
extending to the surface from more than 60 km
deep in the earth.
Hawaiian Meaning
The Hawaiian name "Kilauea" means "spewing"
or "much spreading," apparently in reference
to the lava flows that it erupts. Eruptions
have been Continuous since January 3, 1983.
It is estimated that the first eruption of
Kilauea
has between 300,000 and 600,000 years ago.
