This image released by the US Geological Survey (USGS) on November 29, 2022, shows an aerial photograph of the dominant fissure 3 erupting on the Northeast Rift Zone of Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Fountains of lava up to 200 feet (60 meters) high have been fired into the air from Mauna Loa, geologists say, generating rivers of molten rock from the world's largest active volcano. Four fissures have now opened up on the mammoth mountain, which burst into life on November 27, 2022 for the first time in almost 40 years. (Photo by Handout/US Geological Survey/AFP Photo)
