03-12, 2025This eruption marks the 13th intermittent lava activity at the Big Island's Kilauea volcano since December 23rd of last year. However, this latest eruption was short-lived, with scientists reporting that the lava fountaining abruptly ceased in the afternoon.
Webcams captured images of intense eruptions of red-hot lava and billowing smoke on Tuesday morning. However, only smoke was visible a few hours later. Small lava spatters occurred sporadically on Monday afternoon, reaching heights of only 5 to 10 meters. The observatory's status report indicated that the spattering activity continued to increase during the night and early Tuesday morning.
Currently, the volcanic eruption does not pose a threat to residential areas. Many people have flocked to the national park to witness this magnificent volcanic spectacle. The height of the lava fountains produced by each eruption varies, with some reaching as high as 180 meters. The duration of each eruption also varies from a few hours to several days, with intervals ranging from less than 24 hours to 12 days.
