The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports that the next episode of lava fountaining at Kīlauea Volcano is likely to begin within the next day or two, with ongoing cyclic gas piston events and lava overflows indicating imminent eruption activity.
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has resumed its eruptive activity, shooting lava fountains up to 100 feet into the air for the 31st time since December, with the eruption contained within the summit crater and attracting many visitors and livestream viewers. The eruption involves magma rising from a lower chamber, creating spectacular lava fountains, and may continue or change in pattern, with scientists monitoring closely. The event has increased park visitation, and safety precautions are advised for visitors.
