The largest active volcano in the world, Mauna Loa, has now been erupting for 24 hours. Initially contained in the volcano's summit crater, the eruption has now moved into the Northeast Rift Zone, where three eruptive fissures have burst open, spilling lava down the volcano's flanks.

The eruption was announced by the USGS at 11:30 p.m. HST on November 27. No populated areas are currently under threat, but the USGS is keeping a close eye on the situation.
