1,000-Foot Lava Jets Erupt From Hawaii’s Kīlauea Volcano : ScienceAlert

Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, has once again captured the attention of onlookers with its fiery display. Since the end of last year, the infamous crater has been sporadically spewing fountains of lava, culminating in a spectacular eruption on May 25th, where a jet of molten rock shot over 300 meters into the sky.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) live-streamed the uncontrolled outburst, marking Kīlauea’s 23rd eruption since December 2024 and the largest one yet. The event lasted over six hours, starting at 4:15 pm Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time. Initially, thin jets of lava erupted from the north vent before escalating into sustained fountains of lava.

Within half an hour, the lava fountain reached its peak height of 300 meters at the north vent, while another vent to the south saw fountains reaching 250 meters. Large lava flows covered half of Halema’uma’u crater floor as the eruptions continued.

By 10:25 pm that night, both vents had calmed down, bringing an end to the fiery spectacle. Fortunately, all eruptions have remained contained within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawai’i, minimizing the impact on surrounding populations.

However, the eruptive plume produced by Kīlauea on May 25th reached at least 1,500 meters into the sky, raising concerns about volcanic gases and volcanic glass being carried downwind. Volcanic gas could potentially affect human health, leading to respiratory issues if concentrations in the air are high. Additionally, strands of volcanic glass, known as Pele’s hair, could cause skin and eye irritation as they are carried by the wind.

Although the volcano has quieted down for now, it seems to be entering a phase of frequent activity, with eruptions occurring nearly every week. While there are no signs of a larger eruption looming, another outburst of lava is likely on the horizon, keeping scientists and spectators alike on high alert for Kīlauea’s next fiery display.
