HAWAII (NBC) - Hawaii's Kilauea volcano is providing some breathtaking images.
The Pu'u O'o crater has been erupting since 1983.
Now lava is reaching record levels at the Halema'uma'u crater, and scientists said it could spill out on to the crater floor any day.
The molten rock is about 100 feet from spilling over.
Lava has spilled onto the crater floor in 1974 and 1982, but scientist said those eruptions were different because in those events lava actually came from vents in the sides of the crater.
The rising level in Halema'uma'u does have some important implications: It means the whole magmatic system at Kilauea is pressurizing.
Scientist don't know how long the lava will continue to rise, so for now they are simply watching and waiting.
