The eruption at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano still continues.

The lava has now destroyed at least 35 structures and covered the equivalent of more than 75 football fields.

NASA has released satellite images showing massive sulfur dioxide plumes released by Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, which has now been erupting for the past five days.

Around 1,700 people have already been evacuated and dozens of buildings, including 26 homes, have been destroyed since the volcano started erupting on Thursday.

There have also been many powerful earthquakes and authorities are now contemplating widening the evacuation zone as Kilauea continues to spout rivers of lava and belch noxious gas.

As a general reminder Sulfur dioxide can cause coughing and a burning sensation in the throat, and it can be fatal in high concentrations.
