This was the first explosive eruption of Halemaʻumaʻu since 1924, and the first lava eruption from the crater since 1982. [16] The new crater formed in the explosion was informally named "Overlook Crater" by Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff. [12] Sulfur dioxide gas emissions increased rapidly at the beginning of the episode. On March 13 ...
Explosive activity began on May 10, blowing out rock chunks weighing as much as 45 kg (99 lb) 60 m (197 ft), and smaller fragments weighing about 9 kg (20 lb) as far as 270 m (886 ft). After a brief reprieve, the eruption intensified through a major blast on May 18, when an enormous explosive event caused the eruption's only fatality.
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 National Park Service is cautioning spectators to heed warnings and safety precautions after the latest eruption of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, one of the most active in the world. Kilauea began ...

HAWAII COUNTY, Hawaii – Kilauea volcano's eruption has significantly slowed and appears to be paused, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The eruption occurred about 2:20 a.m. local ...
The key factors in generating a Hawaiian eruption are basaltic magma and a low percentage of dissolved water (less than one percent). The lower the water content, the more peaceful is the resulting flow.
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.
