Kīlauea summit eruptive activity resumed just before 3:00 p.m. HST today, January 22, 2025. Small lava dome fountains in the north vent are feeding short lava flows in the southwest part of the caldera. Volcanic gas emissions are elevated compared to during the eruptive pause. This marks the beginning of the fifth episode of the eruption that began on December 23, 2024, in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

$For this month's video update of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, we'd like to introduce you to a friend of ours. This friend has been monitoring changes of the ground surface in Yellowstone for decades and is so good that it can detect movement of just a few millimeters in magnitude (just a fraction of an inch). The friend? A continuous GPS station! There are dozens of continuous GPS stations throughout the Yellowstone region, and they show us that the ground in Yellowstone is always changi$

Gas pistoning has been happening at Kīlauea today as episode 25 approaches. What causes this? Gas accumulates near the top of the lava column within the vent, causing the lava surface to rise (the "piston"). Eventually, gas escapes as spatter/lava is erupted, and lava drains back into the vent. You can watch this process in one of the three livestream camera views of Kīlauea summit available through the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory: V1cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG5zz9Sjw3E V2cam:

After a slightly longer break than usual, Kīlauea began preparing for its next eruptive episode early this morning (August 4) with the return of pistoning at 5:14 AM HST and lava overflows at the north vent at 5:51 AM HST. This will mark the 30th episode since the onset of the eruption on December 23, 2024. Each of these episodes has lasted a few hours to over a week, and together they have dramatically changed the summit caldera at Kīlauea. Although it is unclear when fountaining may start in t

Today (August 6) started early for Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists. Vigorous lava fountaining associated with episode 30 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption of Kīlauea volcano, Hawaii, began at 1:20 a.m. local time, and HVO geologists were immediately on site to collect data. Once the day dawned, the work included a helicopter trip to the caldera floor to sample lava for chemical analysis. That information can be used to better understand the conditions in the magma chamber, and therefo
