Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, has been erupting on and off for nearly two months since it burst to life on Dec. 23.

The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has erupted and is spewing huge lava plumes over 330 feet high in the ninth burst of activity for this rock formation since December
