Kīlauea volcano's 13th eruption since December 2024 displays lava fountains up to 600 feet high, with consistent activity contained within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

Kilauea erupted at its summit in Hawaii, with two volcanic vents spewing lava fountains for hours. The day before, USGS scientists had reported only weak activity during an aerial survey. Researchers are now collecting lava samples from the eruption site.
