One of the world’s most active volcanoes is back in action. The Kilauea volcano at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is spewing lava once again, the seventh recorded episode in recent weeks.

The Kilauea volcano in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has erupted for the seventh time since December last year, spewing lava from the Halemaʻumaʻu pit crater. Spectacular timelapse footage from January 27 captured the lava flows spreading like a river delta on the crater floor.

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has a YouTube live feed of the eruption taken from a safe distance that shows the full lava flow into the caldera, which at night (as it is as of the time of this article being published due to Hawaii's time difference) illuminates brilliantly.

The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is home to the summits of two of the world’s most active volcanoes: Kilauea and Mauna Loa.

Scientists say each episode of lava fountaining since the initial eruption began on Dec. 23, 2024, has continued between 14 hours and eight days, with eruptive episodes being separated by pauses

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that fountains on the north side of the crater are now reaching heights of 100 to 120 feet (30 to 40 metres) and feeding multiple streams of lava. Additionally, a smaller fountain is visible on the south side, accompanied by a small emerging lava flow.

This U.S. Geological Survey web camera view this morning shows lava flowing during the seventh lava-fountaining episode of the on-again, off-again eruption that began on Dec. 23. Kilauea is erupting again in Halemaumau crater.

Kilauea is bursting with fountains of lava in its latest volcanic activity that began this evening. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that small spatter fountains were coming from Kilauea at 1:30 p.
