Aerial footage shows a spectacular view of the Kilauea volcano eruption in Hawaii, USA.

The video shows bright orange lava spurting from a one-kilometre fissure as volcanic gases billowed downwind at the volcano's southwest rift zone early morning on June 3.

In a volcano notice issued on June 4 afternoon, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) said that lava effusions ceased at around noon on June 3, though areas of incandescence and elevated volcanic gas emissions were still observed.

A sulfur dioxide emission rate of 5,500 tonnes per day was also measured on June 3 noon.

The HVO said: 'The eruption that began southwest of Kīlauea's summit at approximately 12:30 a.m. HST on June 3 remains paused. Conditions in the region have not changed significantly since this morning, though volcanic gas emissions have decreased.

'Activity in this region remains dynamic and could change quickly. All activity is located within Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. HVO continues to closely monitor Kīlauea and will issue additional notices as needed.'
