Hawaii
Hawaii's Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, is erupting for the first time in nearly 40 years.
Dozens of earthquakes — one of them a magnitude 4.2 quake — have swarmed the region after the volcano’s Moku'āweoweo summit caldera erupted on Sunday (Nov. 27) night. Officials have issued an ashfall advisory for Hawaii's Big Island and residents have been asked to remain vigilant. So far the eruption’s lava flows pose no risk to people living downhill from the eruption and air travel is currently unaffected.
