The world’s largest active volcano – Mauna Loa in Hawaii – is erupting for the first time in nearly 40 years. The eruption began late Sunday night, and lava is overflowing the caldera atop the ten thousand plus foot peak on Hawaii’s big island.

Another volcano on the island, Kilauea, has erupted repeatedly in recent years.
