One of the world’s most active volcanoes is back in action. The Kilauea volcano at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is spewing lava once again, the seventh recorded episode in recent weeks. The eruption that began Dec.

Kilauea is erupting again in Halemaumau crater. The current eruption began at 6:41 p.m. Monday in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This is the seventh episode of the eruption within the summit caldera, Kaluapele, that began Dec. 23.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that fountains on the north side of the crater are now reaching heights of 100 to 120 feet (30 to 40 metres) and feeding multiple streams of lava. Additionally, a smaller fountain is visible on the south side, accompanied by a small emerging lava flow.

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has a YouTube live feed of the eruption taken from a safe distance that shows the full lava flow into the caldera, which at night (as it is as of the time of this article being published due to Hawaii's time difference) illuminates brilliantly.

Scientists say each episode of lava fountaining since the initial eruption began on Dec. 23, 2024, has continued between 14 hours and eight days, with eruptive episodes being separated by pauses

The volcano erupted for the seventh time in recent weeks. This round is expected to last between 10 to 20 hours, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

One of the world’s most active volcanoes, located in Kilauea, Hawaii, erupted for the seventh time since December on Monday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Kilauea is bursting with fountains of lava in its latest volcanic activity that began this evening. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that small spatter fountains were coming from Kilauea at 1:30 p.
