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.
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.
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano began erupting again after nearly three months of quiet, with glowing lava flows bursting within one of its craters Sunday, according to the US Geological Survey.
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano roared back to life and resumed its eruption Wednesday as dramatic video provided by the U.S. Geological Survey showed lava shooting hundreds of feet into the air.
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 ...
Puʻu ʻŌʻō, a parasitic cinder cone located on Kilauea on the island of Hawaiʻi which erupted continuously from 1983 to 2018. The eruptions began with a 6 km (4 mi)-long fissure-based "curtain of fire" on 3 January 1983. These gave way to centralized eruptions on the site of Kilauea's east rift, eventually building up the cone. [4]
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.
