This stunning footage shows a Hawaiian volcano spewing lava. The Kilauea Volcano located on Hawaii’s largest island, Hawaii, is the world’s most active. Kilauea has been erupting since Dec. 2024, and entered its 36th episode on Nov. 9, spewing fountains up to 1,000-1,100 feet, and lasting for over five hours. Eruption episodes include distinct and continuous periods of activity that occur within a longer-term cycle. The lava is currently contained within the volcano’s summit crater and is not th

USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists observed lava roiling in the north and south vents at the summit of Kīlauea on Friday, November 21. Shortly after, lava flowed onto Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor for the first time since episode 36 (November 9). That activity continued through the weekend, with 73 overflows total. Over the past 24 hours, Kīlauea summit deflated and the overflows stopped, causing the forecast window for episode 37 to be adjusted slightly later in time. Episode 37 could occ

There are thousands of volcanic features distributed throughout the southwest United States, which are grouped together in volcanic fields. The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) monitors these volcanoes using a combination of techniques. While YVO hasn’t seen anything to suggest magma is on the move, the area is stretched and pulled apart to produce numerous tectonic earthquakes. YVO keeps an eye on these volcanoes and the Yellowstone Volcano, as described in this monthly video update by Mik

Eruptive activity at the summit of Kīlauea volcano on the Island of Hawaiʻi remains paused as of December 2. However, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists on a monitoring overflight this morning observed a spattering lava surface deep in both the north and south vents in Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Glow was visible in both vents in webcam imagery last night, as well as weak spattering within the north vent. Based on patterns of ground inflation since the end of episode 37 on November 25, models
