Kilauea Volcano sent lava shooting 985ft (300m) into the air during an eruption in Hawaii.

Stunning footage shows the fiery blast, with molten rock spewing from the crater on Sunday, May 25.

The US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that the volcanic activity started around 4:15 pm.

This eruption, which began on December 23 of the previous year, follows a pattern of brief, explosive episodes—each lasting around 13 hours, separated by pauses ranging from one day to nearly two weeks.

Kilauea is the world's most active volcanic mass and is the central feature of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Its caldera is nearly three miles long and two miles wide, with an area of more than four square miles.
