Increased Volcanic Activity Detected at Hawaii’s Kīlauea Volcano

Recent observations by officials from the U.S. Geological Survey have indicated a surge in volcanic activity at Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano, although no eruption is currently taking place.

Between Saturday and Tuesday, there have been multiple small upticks in seismic activity, with Wednesday’s earthquake activity still considered low, registering around eight earthquakes. Overall, there have been approximately 110 small quakes recently, most of which have been below a magnitude of 2.0.

Volcanologists have noted ongoing ground swelling around the volcano’s summit, with seismic activity suggesting an accumulation of magma beneath the summit.

The USGS has issued a yellow advisory level for this event, indicating elevated unrest at the volcano.

Due to the recent activity and ground movement, hazardous conditions in the area have been highlighted, including uneven terrain, crater wall instability, and the risk of falling rocks.

Given the heightened activity, the Hawaii Volcano Observatory has announced daily updates, a departure from its usual weekly updates.

The most recent eruption at Kīlauea occurred near the Nāpau Crater at the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park from Sept. 15-20.

This eruption resulted in a lava flow covering more than 880,000 square meters (217 acres) and the formation of a 1,600-foot fissure near the crater.

While seismicity and ground deformation have decreased significantly since the last eruption, the USGS warns that the volcano’s magma movement remains active, potentially leading to future eruptions.
