During the eruption at Kilauea that ended in May about 11 billion gallons of lava erupted into the crater.
So far a 2018 eruption of Kilauea was the most destructive since scientists have been monitoring volcanoes. It exploded lava into lower Puna. And entire communities were destroyed.
Officials emphasize this current eruption is confined to the summit. And it poses no immediate danger to area residents.
