nothing like the erupting ao and i witnessed in the 80s when pu'u o'o was skyrocketing but always impressive... Hawaii volcano produces tall lava fountaining in latest episode of Kilauea eruption Updated Feb 4, 2025 12:54 p.m. In this photo provided by National Park Service, a fountain of lava spews from an eruption of Kilauea volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii, on Monday, Feb. 3, 2025. (Janice Wei/NPS via AP) HONOLULU (AP) — A fountain of lava was spewing from a Hawaii volcano Tuesday in the latest episode of an eruption that has paused and resumed. Fountains from a vent of the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island grew to more than 250 feet (76.2 meters) high Monday night, according to the latest status report from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. On Tuesday morning, a webcam showed vigorous streams of red lava. The eruption began Dec. 23 in a crater at the summit of Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes. This marks the eruption's eighth episode. Small, sporadic spatter fountains began Sunday, which grew more intense, the observatory said. The fountains grew from 50 feet (15.24 meters) high to 250 feet (76.2 meters) high in an hour on Monday night. The eruption is happening within a closed area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park without posing a threat to homes or infrastructure. |

Cool pic.. illusions created with telephoto lens… the people, who are silhouetted in the foreground, are more than a mile away from the fountains in the back.. which were relatively small.. 200-250 feet, the fountains I took Ry out to were more than 1,500 feet high.. sustained for hours.. but still beautiful pic. |

Kilauea is spewing lava again. It is the Hawaii volcano's latest activity in an on-and-off eruption By AUDREY McAVOY, Associated Press Updated Feb 11, 2025 10:22 p.m. This handout photo from the U.S. Geological Survey shows lava erupting from Haleumaumau Crater at the summit of Kilauea volcano inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii., on Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025. (U.S. Geological Survey via AP)AP HONOLULU (AP) — Kilauea volcano began shooting lava into the air once again Tuesday on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, has been erupting on and off for nearly two months since it burst to life on Dec. 23. The eruption has been taking place at the the volcano's summit crater inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. No residential areas have been threatened by lava. The latest release of molten rock began 10:16 a.m. with lava flowing on to the floor of Halemaumau Crater. A half-hour later, a vent shot lava about 330 feet (100 meters) high. This is the ninth episode of eruptive activity since Dec. 23, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said. Earlier episodes have lasted 13 hours to eight days, with pauses in between. People have been flocking to overlook sites inside the national park for views of the eruption. Kilauea is about 200 miles (320 kilometers) southeast of Honolulu. |
