US EditionKilauea's eruption is back as the Hawaii volcano shoots lava for the 31st time since December
Kilauea's ongoing eruption has produced 31 lava fountains since December, with magma rising at 3.8 cubic meters per second from beneath Halemaumau Crater, scientists said.
- Kilauea volcano on Hawaii Island resumed erupting with its 31st episode since December, as continuous spatter began around 8:30 a.m. before lava overflowed near the summit crater.
- Ken Hon, scientist-in-charge at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, said a lower magma chamber under Halemaʻumaʻu crater is fed at about 3.8 cubic meters per second, with sensors detecting inflation and deflation.
- The U.S. Geological Survey reports fountains have grown steadily, with lava erupting from the north vent at the summit crater and plumes reaching up to 20,000 feet.
- Park officials said the eruption remained within the summit crater with no homes threatened, visitation has risen for eight months, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park warned visitors about trail safety hazards.
- Scientists monitoring sensors say recent episodes typically last 10 to 12 hours and can forecast lava emergence days ahead; U.S. Geological Survey livestreams attract hundreds of thousands, but the eruption’s future remains uncertain.

Kilauea’s Eruption Is Back as the Hawaii Volcano Shoots Lava for the 31St Time Since December
HONOLULU—Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano resumed erupting Friday by shooting an arc of lava 100 feet (30 meters) into the air and across a section of its summit crater floor. It was Kilauea’s 31st display of molten rock since December, an appropriately high frequency for one of the world’s most active volcanoes. The north vent at the summit crater began continuously spattering in the morning, and then lava overflowed a few hours later. The vent started…
