<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">There has not been any big eruptions from the volcano Kilauea, but like usual the volcano for 29 years strait has been erupting regularly. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">The volcano regularly erupts small amounts of lava that isn't dangerous, people can come and see the lava flow out of the volcano and can come near it as-well. The volcano erupts almost every day with lava slowly flowing and sputtering out of it. There are not such danger hazards that people can't live near the volcano, for tourist's stay in hotels on the island right near it.
