This Volcano Erupted For 5 Years Straight, And The Photos Are Mesmerising

You're looking at a very rare type of lava fountain.

On 24 May 1969, a deep rumbling started within KÄ«lauea, the largest of the volcanoes comprising the island of Hawai'i.

Those were the first moments of the historical Mauna Ulu eruption - a spectacular outpour of lava that lasted for a total of 1,774 days, at the time becoming the longest KÄ«lauea eruption in at least two millennia.

Kilauea had been erupting for a month or so when I first visited my Brother out on the islands in 1985.  It hasn't stopped erupting since.  What is that, 33 years now?
