Kilauea erupts in Hawaii with lava fountains up to 300 meters

Lava began erupting from the Halemaʻumaʻu crater in Hawaii in the early hours, around 1:30 a.m. local time, as shown by a live USGS feed. The eruption markes a continuation of activity at one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

The eruption produced lava fountains reaching up to 300 meters in height and generated a volcanic plume approximately 6,000 meters tall, according to the United States Geological Survey. The event underscores ongoing volcanic activity at Kilauea and the monitoring efforts by USGS.

Officials emphasize that the situation is being tracked by authorities and that the information comes from USGS monitoring channels, with no additional details provided about evacuations or impacts beyond the eruption itself.
