Kilauea Volcano Update; 2 New Vents Erupt, Unusual Activity

Something strange and unusual is occurring at Kilauea. It should have in theory produced hours long tall lava fountains by now, yet, it hasn't. Almost as if the volcano is stalled close to such an eruptive episode. Today's video will discuss the Kilauea volcano's recent activity, and the fact that two new vents opened up north of its summit vent. Thankfully, all of this occurred completely within Kilauea's summit caldera. Do note that the "unusual" nature of Kilauea's current activity is specifically that it should have produced another lava fountaining episode by now, and appears "very close to lava fountaining". It has remained in that state for multiple days, causing two new vents to form and one older summit vent to reactivate.
