Dragon taps are a hundred meters high on the Hawaii crater

The rare phenomenon of water cannon on Kilauea crater in Hawaii was recorded by a videographer from a helicopter.

Video producer Mick Kalber sees a column of smoke rising nearly a hundred meters above the cracks in the east of Kilauea volcano, while driving a helicopter early March 29, according to Newsweek. A funnel-shaped smoke column is a landspout, a small tornado that is not attached to a hot and humid gas stream that rotates in a storm like a normal tornado.

Landspout taps are relatively weak, lasting only a few minutes and tend to rotate more slowly than regular cannons, although they can still damage people and property. They often form from the ground and rise to the clouds.

"We have seen the landspout on the sea, many lava falling quickly into the water creates a similar phenomenon. It will rotate clockwise and sometimes separate from the whirlwind, but we have not previously covered it. Now encountering this kind of water cannon on land, " Kalber shared.

Kalber, who wrote Kilauea volcano for many years, said that strong winds, high humidity and heavy rain pouring into volcanic lava created the perfect conditions for landspout cannons to form. Rain water from heavy rainstorms is likely to infiltrate cracks in lava fields, causing steam to rise and begin to spin due to the weather.

Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world with at least 34 eruptions since 1952. The eastern rift (East Rift Zone) has been undergoing volcanic activity since 1983.
