Hawaiian Volcano Observatory released footage showing a tower of lava erupting from the latest episode at Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano on Tuesday.
Volcano Watch is a weekly article and activity update written by U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists and affiliates. We are used to seeing eruptions from the summit region of Kīlauea contained to the region referred to as Halemaʻumaʻu.
Kilauea volcano began shooting lava into the air once again Tuesday on the Big Island of Hawaii. This is the ninth episode of eruptive activity since Dec. 23, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.
Subtle signals detected weeks before a massive eruption could help scientists forecast volcano activity earlier.
