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. They are generally fluid ( VEI -0) Hawaiian eruptions , but more violent eruptions have occurred throughout Kīlauea's eruptive history, with the largest recorded explosive eruption having ...

The remnant of a volcanic cone, [6] Necker Island is located about 120 kilometers (65 nmi; 75 mi) southeast of the French Frigate Shoals [7] on the northwestern end of a large, shallow ocean bank. [8] It is a hook-shaped rocky ridge about 1.3 kilometers (0.8 mi) long and between 60 and 200 meters (197 and 656 ft) wide.
The first helicopter overflight of Kīlauea's new SW rift zone eruption site at 6 AM HST on June 3, 2024 showed lava fountaining from 1 km (0.5 mi)-long fissures and volcanic gases blowing downwind.
The eruption is in Halemaʻumaʻu crater in Kilauea's⠯summit caldera at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on Hawaii's Big Island. Kīlauea makes up the southeastern side of the Big Island ...

The 1790 Footprints refer to a set of footprints found near the Kīlauea volcano in present-day Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawaiʻi. Resulting from an unusually explosive eruption , they may be associated with a series of battles in the area in 1790.
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 ...
