In a remarkable display of seismic activity, the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, renowned as one of the most active volcanoes in the world, has been experiencing an intense series of earthquakes.  Over the weekend, this volcanic giant, located within Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park, was hit by an astonishing 30 earthquakes per hour, amounting to more than 500 tremors from Saturday to Sunday.  Despite this vigorous activity, geologists have reported no eruption from Kilauea thus far. The seismic swarm began on the afternoon of June 27, centered in the Upper East Rift Zone of Kilauea.  According to geologists from the US Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (USGS HVO), this region started to experience a significant uptick in seismic events, with about 30 earthquakes occurring every hour.  #usa #kilauea #volcano #eruption #wwnc #active #hawai #islands Volcano Kilauea raged In the United States in the Hawaiian Islands, the eruption of the Kilauea volcan...
