These spectacular images and video show the Hawaiian volcano Kīlauea erupting on 15 January 2025.
Lava fountains are now active at two vents on the western side of the caldera, marking the start of the fourth episode of the ongoing eruption that began on 23 December 2024.
Low-level spattering from the northern vent was observed as early as 5:40 a.m. HST, followed by a sluggish lava flow emerging at 9:15 a.m. By 9:50 a.m., activity intensified, culminating in lava fountains reaching an estimated height of 60 metres (200 feet) by 9:55 a.m.
This latest episode has so far progressed more rapidly than earlier ones, which exhibited longer periods of subdued activity at their onset. For comparison, the second and third episodes featured sluggish starts lasting 3–4 hours and 2.5 days, respectively.
If lava fountains persist, there is potential for their height to increase as more gas-rich magma is released. Previous episodes have produced fountains over 70 metres (200 feet) tall, lasting up to 24 hours. However, the duration and intensity of the current activity remain uncertain.
This marks the fourth eruptive episode at Kīlauea’s summit since the eruption began in late December. Episodes of lava fountaining have ranged from 14 hours to eight days in duration, with pauses in activity lasting anywhere between less than 24 hours and 12 days.
Scientists from the US Geological Survey continue to monitor the situation closely, with further updates expected as the eruption progresses.
