Volcanic Eruption at Kilauea in Hawaii Causes Molten Lava Emission
In the heart of Hawaii, the Kilauea volcano has been a spectacle of nature since its most recent eruption on December 23, 2024. This single ongoing eruption, now in its 32nd episode, has been active as of early September 2025.
The eruption, which paused briefly on February 12, 2025, resumed afterward, with multiple vents erupting throughout the year. The lava fountains inside the Halemaumau crater have reached about 100 meters high, drawing global attention with its fiery displays.
Fortunately, the location of Kilauea within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and approximately 200 miles south of Honolulu on a separate island within Hawaii, ensures that it does not pose a threat to nearby homes or infrastructure.
This volcanic spectacle can be witnessed firsthand by visitors to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Thousands of people are tuning in to livestreams provided by the U.S. Geological Survey to view the Kilauea eruption from multiple angles. The summit crater of Kilauea, where the eruption is occurring, is also accessible to these viewers.
The magma from Kilauea's eruption consistently follows a specific pathway to the surface, ensuring a continuous and captivating display. Despite its remote location, the eruption's visibility through these livestreams makes it accessible to a wide audience.
Kilauea, while not on the island of Oahu, is south of Honolulu, the capital city of Oahu. This volcanic wonder continues to captivate visitors and online viewers alike, offering a unique and awe-inspiring view of the power of nature.
