Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, has begun to erupt in Hawaii, the U.S. Geological Survey and other authorities said.

The eruption started late Sunday night at about 11:30 p.m. HST in Moku‘āweoweo, the summit caldera of Mauna Loa in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, according to a USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory alert. The Observatory said it was working closely with emergency management partners.

As of early Monday, USGS Volcanoes and the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said the lava remained largely confined to the summit caldera and the eruption was not threatening nearby communities sitting downhill of Mauna Loa.

"Hawaii Volcano Observatory has received some reports of lava overflowing into the southwest portion on the Mauna Loa caldera, but at this point there are NO indications that it threatens populated areas. No evacuation orders are in place," the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency tweeted shortly after 9:20 a.m. EST (4:20 a.m. HST).
