The Kilauea volcano erupted on May 3, 2018, on Hawaii's Big Island.
According to geologists, the Kilauea eruption was the largest Lower East Rift Zone eruption in at least two centuries.
In a span of four months, the volcano blew at least 0.8 km3 (0.2 mi3) of lava, which is equivalent to the size of more than 300 000 Olympic pools of molten rock.
