The world's most active volcano has erupted in spectacular fashion on Hawaii, but scientists warn it is spewing more lava than ever before.
Kilauea, meaning 'much spreading', has been continually erupting since 1983, but more molten rock than usual is flowing from an outbreak that started last November.
Lava has been spewing as high as 150ft in the air at temperatures up to 1,200 °C and a surface flow is snaking east from the crater.

Scientists at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory have also reported an 'unusually high amount of sulfur dioxide gas' emerging from one of the craters.
