Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Sends a Fountain of Lava Into the Sky
- Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island erupted on May 25, sending lava fountains over 1,000 feet into the sky within multiple hours.
- This event marked the 23rd eruption since December 2024, continuing the ongoing lava fountaining at Halemaumau crater within a closed national park area.
- Lava emerged from both north and south vents, covering about half of Halemaumau crater floor while flows remained contained away from residential zones.
- Officials cautioned that volcanic gases—primarily sulfur dioxide, water vapor, and carbon dioxide—produce vog, which can lead to respiratory issues when present in elevated amounts.
- Though the eruption subsided by late evening, experts expect another outburst soon and emphasize ongoing hazards from volcanic gases and unstable crater conditions.
