HONOLULU — A fountain of lava was spewing from a Hawaii volcano Tuesday in the latest episode of an eruption that has paused and resumed. Fountains from a vent of the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island grew to more than 250 feet (76.2 meters) high Monday night, according to the latest status report from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

Kilauea volcano erupted anew on Wednesday morning, sending lava fountains soaring hundreds of feet into the air. Dramatic video from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) captured the fiery spectacle. The eruption began just after 9 a.

Episode 8 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption at Kīlauea began at 9:52 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 3, 2025 and is currently fountaining from the north vent, according to the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
