The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupted in a rather spectacular fashion on July 27 -- and it's so happy about it that it cannot stop beaming.

Mick Kalber of Paradise Helicopters captured the incredible scene from a bird's eye view.

Talk about a million-dollar smile!

The Kilauea volcano has been continuously erupting since 1983, making it one of the most active volcanoes in the world, according to the United States Geological Survey.

But during this particular eruption, lava from the volcano reached the ocean for the first time since 2013 -- and judging by the look on its face, we'd say Kilauea is pretty pleased with the feat.
