Lava falls on a cruise ship in Hawaii, more than 20 people were injured

On July 16, a lava fragment shot from Kilauea volcano in the island of Hawaii (USA) fell on a cruise ship, injuring 23 people.

Hawaiian Fire Department said the ship, carrying visitors to the area, was hit by lava, causing the roof and railing to be badly damaged.

These tourists come here to admire the lava flow formed after the volcanic eruption last May. Of the 23 injured, 13 had to be hospitalized after the incident. It is not clear how many people are on board.

Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, among 5 volcanoes on Hawaii. The volcanic eruption, which began on May 3, destroyed hundreds of houses and evacuated people.

Lava has engulfed an area with an area of ​​about 20 km ² since the volcano erupted.

Scientists believe that active volcanoes may be an omen of an upcoming major eruption, similar to Kilauea volcanic eruption in the mid-20s of the last century.

However, tourists still come here to visit because the lava flows into the Pacific Ocean is a spectacular sight with layers of misty mist.
