HONOLULU—Lava from a Hawaiian volcano surged into the air on Tuesday, creating impressive fountains that were anticipated to increase in size as the eruption continued intermittently.

The volcanic activity commenced on December 23 in a crater at the summit of Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes globally, situated within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island.

Tuesday marked the 12th episode of the eruption. What started as sporadic, minor flows in the morning transitioned to a continuous fountain in the afternoon, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. The lava reached heights of 150 to 165 feet and was expected to expand further.

Fortunately, no residential areas are in danger from the eruption. Visitors have been gathering at scenic overlooks within the park to witness the spectacular display.

Each explosive episode of fountaining has varied in duration from a few hours to several days. These episodes have been interspersed with pauses that could last from under 24 hours to up to 12 days, as reported by the observatory.
