The Kilauea volcano eruption sent lava fountains soaring up to 1,000ft (304m) into the sky in Hawaii.

Dramatic footage captures the fiery display during Episode 24 of the ongoing volcanic activity, with molten rock spewing from the crater in a stunning blast on June 4.

The US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the latest burst began just before 9 pm local time.

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.
