Hawaii volcano: aerial footage shows Mauna Loa spewing lava – video

Aerial images show Hawaii's Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, spewing lava and sending glowing streams across its surface. The volcano is erupting for the first time since 1984, ending its longest quiet period in recorded history. Hawaii officials say the 2022 eruption does not pose any threat to property, though unpleasant volcanic gases and fine ash may drift downslope. Mauna Loa rises 13,679ft (4,169 meters) above the Pacific Ocean and dominates the Island of Hawaii, also known as the Big Island
