The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recorded the moment lava spewed from Hawaii’s Kilauea on Sunday.

Kilauea has been disgorging molten rock from vents in its summit crater at semiregular intervals since late last year.

Scientists view each episode as part of the same eruption because magma has been following the same pathway to the surface.

The lava is contained within the summit crater inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and isn't threatening homes or buildings. 

Kilauea is on Hawaii Island, the largest of the Hawaiian archipelago.

It is about 200 miles (320 kilometers) south of the state’s largest city, Honolulu, which is on Oahu.
