A remote camera monitoring volcanic activity in Hawaii experienced a cessation of transmission due to impact from lava flow and ash during an eruption of the Kilauea volcano.
Eruption Observation
Footage released by the US Geological Survey (USGS) showed a disruption in the camera's data feed prior to its loss of connectivity.
On Saturday, lava fountains reaching heights of up to 30 meters (100 feet) were observed emanating from Kilauea within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, as reported by the USGS.
Kilauea's Activity Status
Kilauea, categorized as one of the world's active volcanoes, has been in a state of intermittent eruption since December of the previous year.
