The volume of lava expelled by Kīlauea varied widely across eruptions. After 1823 Kaluapele gradually filled, filling up under nearly continuous summit eruption, with 3 km 3 (1 cu mi) of lava released by 1840. The period between 1840 and 1920 saw approximately half that in lava volume.
By mid-July 2018, the volume of lava had exceeded the volume deposited in the eruptions of 1955 or 1960. [ 80 ] Eruption activity at ʻAhuʻailāʻau began to see a downtrend beginning on August 5, 2018, as the intensity of both the lava channel and seismic activity at Halemaʻumaʻu decreased significantly over the course of the following days.
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 the fifth eruption that we've had in the summit area of Kilauea since December of 2020," he said, adding that lava flows have already covered a 400-acre lava lake that began in 2020.

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 eruption is about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) south of the Kilauea caldera, in an area within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park that last erupted in December 1974. ... indicating that lava is ...
