A volcano in Hawaii sent lava spewing towards a remote camera recording the eruption, engulfing it in ash and knocking it offline.

Footage from the US Geological Survey (USGS) shows the camera glitching and stalling before its feed drops out in the wake of the eruption.

Lava fountains up to 30m (100ft) high were seen from Kilauea in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on Saturday, the USGS said.

Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, has been erupting intermittently since December last year.
