(July 5, 2008)—Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, the world’s most active, was putting on quite a show over the Fourth of July weekend.

The volcano was pumping out lava from a series of steam explosions at the ocean's edge.

Aerial pictures taken on Friday morning showed lava spewing up to 150 feet in the air.

According to the US Geological Survey, Kilauea has been erupting virtually continuously since 1983.

Meanwhile in Italy, volcanic eruptions that started in May are continuing on Mount Etna.

On Friday, volcanologists recorded a rise in internal tremors.

Explosive activity has also increased from the three vents at the base of the southeast crater, which were formed 35 days ago.

I wonder how long it will be before someone blames this on "global climate change", AKA "The Hoax"?
