Mauna Loa, the world’s largest volcano, began spewing molten rock Nov. 27 after being quiet for 38 years. Lava-viewers enjoyed the rare marvel of being able to see Kilauea erupting at the same time.

‘Modern Gestapo!’ Protests erupt as Kristi Noem leaves hearing early
Protesters lashed out at Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after she left a hearing early.
Hours before the House Homeland Security Committee was scheduled to adjourn on Thursday, Noem said she had to leave to attend to department business.
"I have to actually leave this hearing early because the FEMA review council is giving their report today on suggestions for changes to FEMA," the secretary said before getting up to exit the hearing.
As she left, protesters could be shouting, "Shame!"
"You are the modern SS & Gestapo!" a demonstrator yelled as Noem hugged "Angel Mom" Agnes Gibboney, whose son was allegedly shot and killed by an undocumented immigrant.
Protesters accused Noem of using Gibboney as a shield.
