This stunning footage shows a Hawaiian volcano spewing lava. The Kilauea Volcano located on Hawaii’s largest island, Hawaii, is the world’s most active. Kilauea has been erupting since Dec. 2024, and entered its 36th episode on Nov. 9, spewing fountains up to 1,000-1,100 feet, and lasting for over five hours. Eruption episodes include distinct and continuous periods of activity that occur within a longer-term cycle. The lava is currently contained within the volcano’s summit crater and is not th

The folks at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) do such an awesome job covering the volcanoes of our 50th State. I've often said they provide what amounts to a veritable college level course in volcanology through their beautifully done reports and updates.

That the eruption is taking place in the "caldera" is why the molte
