Footage released from United States Geological Survey captured a whirlwind, known in Hawaiian as a puahiohio, forming over Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano. 😯🌋 Scientists said heat rising from recent lava flows likely helped create the rare atmospheric phenomenon.

Hawaii's Kīlauea volcano began the "fountaining" phase of its eruption on Monday morning, with lava reaching over 650 feet in the air, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. https://t.co/DfJjfN5aox
