Archipelago Hawaii has increased in size by more than two square kilometers due to the eruption of Kilauea volcano, reports BAFS “the Economy today”.
The new territory is composed of hardened lava. She emerged from the area Kapoho Crater and flowed toward the ocean. As a result, the coast was 555 acres of new land, said the report of the Geological survey.
We will remind, Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. Its last eruption began in January 1983 and is still ongoing.
The volcano’s activity appears impulsive. One of the most powerful of these pulses occurred in June of this year. The eruption destroyed more than 600 homes and evacuated more than 10 thousand people.
