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.
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).
The crater again contained an active lava lake between 2008 and 2018, with the level of the lava usually fluctuating between 20 and 150 meters below Halemaʻumaʻu's crater floor, though at times the lava lake rose high enough to spill onto crater floor. The lava lake drained away in May 2018 as new volcanic vents opened in lower Puna. The ...

Kilauea, a volcano on Hawaii's Big Island, erupted early Wednesday morning in a spectacular display. Video of the eruption showed the dark night sky lit up with fire and glowing lava, which began ...
The 2018 lower Puna eruption was a volcanic event on the island of Hawaiʻi, on Kīlauea volcano's East Rift Zone that began on May 3, 2018. It is related to the larger eruption of Kīlauea that began on January 3, 1983, though some volcanologists and USGS scientists have discussed whether to classify it as a new eruption. [2]
Lava could be seen spouting up inside Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Sunday night (11 June). Kilauea, Hawaii's second-largest volcano, began erupting last Wednesday after a three-month pause.
