🔴 Live Now: Kilauea Volcano Eruption Pauses in Hawaii (Fullscreen)

USGS Report: Around 9:15 a.m. HST this morning, January 15, 2025, the eruption of Kilauea within Kaluapele (summit caldera) resumed with a small lava flow exiting the north vent, following low-level continuous lava spattering that started around 5:40 a.m. HST. from the same vent. Around 9:55 a.m., low-level lava fountaining started with more rigorous lava flow activity.
The small sluggish lava flow from the north vent at around 9:15 a.m. today, Wednesday January 15, 2025, marks the beginning of the fourth episode of the ongoing summit eruption. By 9:50 a.m., lava flow activity increased, and lava fountaining began around 9:55 a.m. At time of writing, approximately ten percent of the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu has been covered with new lava, and based on webcam imagery, the lava fountain appears to be 60 meters (200 feet) high. The sluggish, low effusion rate eruptive activity at the start of the fourth eruptive episode was shorter than the sluggish start of second (3-4 hours) and third (2.5 days) eruptive episodes. There are no signs of activity at the south vent.
The tiltmeter at Uēkahuna continued to record inflation beneath Halemaʻumaʻu starting around 9 a.m. yesterday, and may be starting to show signs of leveling off. Tremor increased when fountaining began, but is still lower than the first two episodes of vigorous high fountains (greater than 250 feet or 80 meters).
If fountaining continues, it is possible that the fountain heights will increase as more gas-rich lava erupted. It is not possible to estimate how high the fountains may get or how long the fountaining will last, but prior episodes have produced fountains over 200 feet high (70 m) that last up to 24 hours.
This is the fourth episode of an eruption that began within Halemaʻumaʻu at the summit of Kīlauea volcano on December 23, 2024. Each episode of lava fountaining has continued for 14 hours to 8 days and episodes have been separated by pauses in eruptive activity lasting a less than 24 hours to 12 days.
