Mauna Loa Volcano: Mauna Loa, the world’s largest volcano, has started erupting after 39 years in the Hawaiian Islands. This volcano, lying dormant for four decades, suddenly started erupting on Sunday. After the eruption, the whole sky turned red and the debris coming out of the volcano got accumulated around. According to the American Geological Survey, after the eruption of the volcano, emergency crews were put on alert in the entire area. However, after its explosion, the debris that came out of it did not go far.
The amazing view of the eruption of Mauna Loa was captured in the camera installed by the Geological Survey. It was seen how a long lava stream came out from the mouth of the volcano and then spread around. Lava and other debris that came out after its explosion remained only in a limited area.
