Streams of molten lava flowed from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano overnight Saturday into Sunday, ahead of another eruption expected to take shape in the coming days, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Located in Volcanoes National Park, a massive protected area on the Big Island of Hawaii, Kilauea is among the world’s most active volcanoes. It has been erupting intermittently for almost a year now, with the next imminent episode set to be its 37th since last December.

Eruption episodes tend to be characterized by fountains of lava bursting from the ground and shooting up dramatically into the sky above Hawaii. Visitors are able to travel to the national park to view the volcanic activity themselves, as flows are confined to that area and do not threaten areas of the island with any residential homes or buildings, officials have said.

This time, fiery overflows from Kilauea’s two vents began Friday morning and continued throughout the weekend, according to USGS, which has been releasing regular updates on its progress from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. The agency anticipates the episode will be in full swing at some point between Sunday and Tuesday.
