Volcanoes and Hawaii go hand in hand, as the island chain was formed by volcanic activity. The pilots who fly there gain a healthy respect for volcanoes, such as Mauna Loa, which is located on the south central part of the big island and is currently erupting.
The eruption began around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 27, when one of the fissures on the slope of Mauna Loa began throwing lava 200 feet into the air, according to HawaiiNewsNow.
