Kīlauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, located on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is part of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and has been erupting continuously since 1983. The volcano features a large caldera at its summit and several craters, with the most notable being Halemaʻumaʻu Crater. Kīlauea is known for its relatively gentle eruptions, which produce large volumes of lava that flow into the ocean, creating new land.
