Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano roared back to life and resumed its eruption Wednesday as dramatic video provided by the U.S. Geological Survey showed lava shooting hundreds of feet into the air.
As of the end of 2016, the east rift zone eruption had produced 4.4 km 3 (1 cu mi) of lava, covered 144 km 2 (56 sq mi) of land, added 179 ha (442 acres) of land to the island, destroyed 215 structures, and buried 14.3 km (9 mi) of highway under lava as thick as 35 m (115 ft).
At the end of 1959, from November 14 to December 19, Kīlauea erupted in the Kīlauea Iki crater at the summit of the volcano. [1] This eruption was considered exceptional for the records set and the phenomena never before observed: emission of a volume of 102 × 106 cubic meters of lava [2] in the form of a 580-meter-high fountain, [3] [4] formation of a 126.2-meter-deep lava lake where waves ...
Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, began erupting around 2:30 a.m. local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
This is a list of volcanic eruptions from Kīlauea, an active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands that is currently erupting. These eruptions have taken place from pit craters and the main caldera, as well as parasitic cones and fissures along the East and Southwest rift zones.

The ʻAilāʻau eruption is a prehistoric eruption of Kīlauea volcano on the island of Hawaiʻi in the Hawaiian Islands. Carbon 14 dated from approximately 1410 to 1470 with an eruptive volume of 5.2 ± 0.8 km 3 and fed by lava tubes near Kīlauea Iki crater, it was among the last of a series of highly voluminous lava flows since about 1290 that blanketed vast swaths of what is now Hawaii ...
