A swarm of earthquakes shook Hawaii's Big Island late Sunday evening. While these earthquakes are not impacting Kilauea, the volcano has been erupting since last week.

Molten rock began shooting from the volcano before dawn on Monday when fissures opened in the caldera floor and propelled lava 295 feet (90 meters) into the air. The red liquid formed tall fountains and then spread across 650 acres (263 hectares). The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory estimated the lava was about 1 yard (1 meter) thick.
