[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 ...
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.

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 ...
