Kilauea Ep. 23: Pele Shoots Lava Fountains over 1,000 Feet
- Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupted on May 25, 2025, producing lava fountains over 1,000 feet high within Halemaʻumaʻu crater at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
- The eruption followed pressure buildup beneath the surface causing inflation and deflation patterns detected by USGS, signaling magma movement prior to the outburst.
- Two vents in the crater's southwest produced sustained lava fountains from afternoon until shortly after 10 p.m., with lava flows covering about half the crater floor.
- The eruption sent a dense column of ash, scoria, and fine strands known as Pele's hair soaring to a height of at least 5,000 feet, while lava fountains reached their maximum around 300 meters, according to USGS data.
- The event ended after less than a day but reinforced Kilauea's unique dual-vent activity phase and prompted warnings about volcanic gas and health risks from Pele's hair and vog.
