So far, there is no danger to the residents of the lower slopes from the volcano erupting in Hawaii. However, people have been advised to be prepared for the situation to worsen.
Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, began to erupt in Hawaii late Monday Finnish time.
Mauna Loa is one of Hawaii’s six active volcanoes. It has erupted 33 times since 1843. The last eruption was 38 years ago.
Based on Mauna Loa’s previous eruptions, estimates have been made of the flow rates of molten lava towards the settlement. Depending on the direction of lava flow, the duration can be only hours – or months.
Watch the video to see how quickly molten lava is estimated to reach populated areas on the volcanic island.
