Lava spewing from a crack near Mount Kilauea in Hawaii which recently erupted has been filmed by a drone.
Taken by photographer Jeremiah Osuna, magma can be seen hissing and sputtering from a large chasm near a residential area in Pahoa.
Locals in the nearby Puna community, home to about 10,000 people, had been ordered to evacuate the area this week after officials reported activity coming from the volcano.
Scientists said areas downslope of the erupting vent were at risk of being covered by lava. Leilani Estates, home to about 1,500 people, appeared to be at greatest risk, but scientists said new vents and outbreaks could occur and it's not possible to say where.
USGS geologist Janet Babb said the magma crossed under Highway 130, which leads to a popular volcano access point, earlier this week.
Most of Kilauea's previous activity has been nonexplosive, but a 1924 eruption spewed ash and 90-tonne (10 ton) rocks into the sky, leaving one man dead.
