Kīlauea
Kīlauea is an active
volcano
in the
Hawaiian Islands
, one of five
shield volcanoes
that together form the
Island of Hawaii
. In
Hawaiian
, the word kīlauea means "spewing" or "much spreading", in reference to the mountain's frequent outpouring of
lava
. It is currently the most active volcano and one of the most visited active volcanoes on Earth. Kīlauea is the most recent of a series of volcanoes that created the Hawaiian
Archipelago
, as the
Pacific Plate
moves over the
Hawaii hotspot
(see, however,
Lōihi
Seamount
).
