Kilauea has been erupting on its east rift since 1983. But in March 2008 an additional eruption vent opened at the volcano's summit, resulting in about triple the amount of sulfur dioxide gas emissions drifting to the local community of Kau.

The flow erupted from a cone near the north rim of the crater early Saturday, and a second flow began near the south rim later in the day, the observatory said on its website.
