A Hawaiian eruption is a type of volcanic eruption where lava flows from the vent much like water from a spring, with few or no explosions. This type of eruption occurs most often on "hot-spot" volcanoes such as Kilauea, though it can occur near subduction zones (e.g. Medicine Lake, California.) Hawaiian eruptions are usually the most attractive to tourists and are the safest because there is little danger.
