The USGS has announced that Kilauea volcano is ejecting fountains of lava in a manner not seen since the Pu'u'ō'ō eruption in the 1980s. But while the lava is mesmerizing, officials warn that the volcano is also producing toxic gases and other hazards.

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted spectacularly on Sunday, and then abruptly stopped. Incredible video livestreamed by the USGS shows an incredible lava fountain that almost reached 1,000 feet up into the sky.
