"Fiery lava pours from Kilauea, a volcano in Hawaii, and streams across previous flows now hardened into black volcanic rock. Kilauea's repeated eruptions have built up a shield volcano, so named because its shape, that of an overturned saucer, resembles a warrior's shield. Some of the world's largest volcanoes are in this category."
