Volcanic activity continued at Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano on November 29 and 30, two months after eruptions began.

According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the volcano is erupting out of a sole vent located in the “western wall of Halemaʻumaʻu crater.” This footage, taken by a USGS webcam over the course of November 29-30, shows lava inside the crater.

As of mid-November the USGS estimated that some 30 million cubic meters (7.8 billion gallons) of lava had been expelled by the volcano since it began erupting on September 29. Credit: USGS via Storyful
