Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano is showing increased activity, with lava flowing from two summit craters and flames, smoke and ash rising from the caldera.
Observations on Sunday (11 January) show dome-shaped lava fountains reaching up to 15 metres, feeding lava flows within Halemaʻumaʻu crater.
The current eruptive episode began on 23 December 2024.
The United States Geological Survey has kept Kīlauea at a Volcano Alert Level of "Watch" and an Aviation Colour Code of "Orange", indicating heightened unrest with a potential eruption that could pose limited hazards.
Overnight, lava overflows continued intermittently, with flows between 75 and 150 metres wide extending into the crater. The activity suggests the volcano could enter its 40th eruption at any time, following previous eruptions at the summit since December 2024.
Kīlauea is among the world’s most active volcanoes.
Authorities continue to monitor the volcano closely and advise visitors and residents to avoid restricted areas around the summit.
