February 12, 2025 TruthUSA

HONOLULU—Kilauea volcano in Hawaii’s Big Island has once again erupted, sending lava shooting into the sky on Tuesday.

Kilauea, recognized as one of the most active volcanoes globally, has experienced intermittent eruptions for nearly two months since its latest activity began on December 23. The eruptive activity is concentrated at the summit crater within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, with no residential zones currently at risk from the flowing lava.

The most recent lava eruption started at 10:16 a.m., with lava cascading onto Halemaumau Crater’s floor. About thirty minutes later, a vent propelled lava to a height of approximately 330 feet.

This marks the ninth episode of volcanic activity since December 23, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Previous eruptions have spanned from 13 hours to eight days, interspersed with periods of inactivity.

Kilauea is situated approximately 200 miles southeast of Honolulu.
