This stunning footage shows a Hawaiian volcano spewing lava. The Kilauea Volcano located on Hawaii’s largest island, Hawaii, is the world’s most active. Kilauea has been erupting since Dec. 2024, and entered its 36th episode on Nov. 9, spewing fountains up to 1,000-1,100 feet, and lasting for over five hours. Eruption episodes include distinct and continuous periods of activity that occur within a longer-term cycle. The lava is currently contained within the volcano’s summit crater and is not th

Lava spewed from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Saturday, December 6, footage from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) captured. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the north vent of the volcano had shown heightened activity and "increasing spattering events" while the south vent had a moderate glow overnight. Low to moderate tremors were also recorded during the eruption. Located in a closed area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes a

The folks at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) do such an awesome job covering the volcanoes of our 50th State. I've often said they provide what amounts to a veritable college level course in volcanology through their beautifully done reports and updates. The following is a collection of videos of the ongoing Kilauea eruption which is occurring deep in the volcano's "caldera" (see the definition of a "caldera" below). That the eruption is taking place in the "caldera" is why the molte

A remote camera captured the moment an erupting volcano in Hawaii knocked it out while recording on Saturday (December 6). Lava spewed from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Saturday, footage from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) captured. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said sustained lava fountains of approximately 50-100 feet (15-30 meters) in height were erupting from the north vent and that the heights of the lava fountains were rapidly increasing. The eruptions were confined to t
