The Kilauea is the youngest and southeastern most volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. It has been active since 1983 and labeled the most dangerous volcano in the United States. It has sixty-one historical eruptions not including the continuous lava-lake activity in its crater. In 2010-2011 some of its lava destroyed many houses near the crater causing alarm for the safety of citizens of the Big Island. Also, rising emissions of sulfur dioxide have led to increased levels of volcanic smog and air quality concerns.
