Kilauea Volcano Update; New Eruption, 1st Southwest Flank Eruption in 50 Years

In Hawaii, the Kilauea volcano just produced in an eruption in a region completely untouched by lava flows for 50 years. Instead of occurring at its summit or east rift zone, the new eruption began in its southwest rift zone. This video will discuss the ongoing eruption, and theorizes how long it may last for.
