Fountains of lava up to 200 feet (60 meters) high have been fired into the air from Hawaii's Mauna Loa, geologists say, generating rivers of molten rock from the world's largest active volcano.

Three fissures have now opened up on the mammoth mountain, which burst into life late Sunday for the first time in almost 40 years.
