Hawaii's Kilauea volcano recently erupted, and during this one of its vents exploded, resulting in the destruction of a webcam. This entire sequence was captured on video. This occurred during Kilauea's episode 38 on Saturday, where lava fountains continued for a full 12 hours. Today's video will discuss the eruptive episode in question through the knowledge and analysis of a geologist. A special thanks to YouTube.com/TwoPineapples for recording some of the footage shown in today's video!
