The eruption in 1924
The newest eruption follows a damaging quake, risky volcanic smog and large lava flows that are all threatening Hawaii's Big Island.
Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes and has been erupting continuously since 1983.
Hawai'i's Kilauea volcano has spewed ash almost 9 kilometres into the air and scientists have warned this could be the first of a violent string of explosions in the crater.
There's a lone webcam operating at the Hawaii Volcano Observatory's evacuated observation tower.
A powerful but short-lived explosion occurred at the summit of the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island, producing a massive volcanic cloud, officials said.
Their concern was that the sinking molten rock would create steam as it interacted with the water table and that the steam would then jet upward, hurling heavy rocks and ash into the sky in a phenomenon known as a phreatic eruption.
Hawaii volcano erupts from summit, shooting plume of ash " It caused a volcanic cloud that reached as high as 30,000 feet above sea level, which is the biggest cloud we've had so far", said Michelle Coombs of the USGS.
"Ash fall was pretty localised to volcano village area and volcano national park".

Forget Laurel and Yanny, Green Needle and Brainstorm will blow your mind
Trump previous year sent a tweet that ended with the word "covfefe," which quickly went viral before it was deleted. But the final decision falls to President Donald Trump , and he put the controversy to bed once and for all.
The immediate risk health risk comes from ash particles in the air, said Dr. Josh Green, a state senator who represents part of the Big Island, also called Hawai'i Island.
The US Geological Survey has raised the alert for the volcano from orange to red, meaning a "major volcanic eruption is imminent, under way, or suspected with hazardous activity both on the ground and in the air".
The National Weather Service warned: "Persons with respiratory illnesses should remain indoors to avoid inhaling the ash particles and all persons outside should cover their mouth and nose with a mask or cloth". The crews of the aircraft are ordered not to enter the airspace above the volcano within a radius of 8 km around the crater.
If explosions become more energetic, there could be boulders that fall up to 1 mile (2 kilometers) away or pea-sized fragments as far as 4 miles (6 kilometers) away, U.S. Geological Survey scientist Steve Brantley said.
Another eruption of Kilauea volcano occurred on Thursday at 18:00. But during the past week, magma flowing underground from the summit burst through 20 fissures that opened within residential neighborhoods about 20 miles as the crow flies from the volcano summit.
The volcanic eruption is harming his livelihood, he said, as he owns a music retreat and cultural center on his land. He said he did not hear anything either and is in an area that did not get any ash.
Those areas were evacuated as lava destroyed at least 26 homes and 10 other structures.
