One of the world's most active volcanoes is erupting again,

but this time it's reaching new heights.

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano spewing lava up to 650 ft in the air.

The US Geological Survey says this is Kilauea's 18th eruption

since it became active again last December.

Good news is the lava is no longer a danger to Hawaiian who live nearby.

And the volcano's active zone has remained within the national park, which is protected land.

But bad news for tourists who lava them some lava:

High levels of sulfur dioxide have been detected as well as volcanic glass fragments that can drift through the air.
