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.

Kīlauea summit lava fountains were active for about 10 hours during episode 22. V2cam, which is located on the east rim of Kaluapele (the summit caldera), captured the views shown here, just before sunrise on May 16. In case you missed the news, HVO installed another livestream camera on the south rim of the caldera, the V3cam, and it is available here: url.usgs.gov/v3cam | USGS Volcanoes

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

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

Research, monitoring, communication. Every day is #EarthDay at the USGS. Volcano monitoring and research conducted at the five US volcano observatories advances our understanding of active volcanoes and hazards, and enables the USGS Volcano Hazards Program to provide information and warnings of volcanic activity in the United States. Each observatory is assigned a geographic area of responsibility (Alaska, Hawaii, California, Cascade Range, Yellowstone). The observatories and their partner organ

In the air and on the ground, HVO scientists are collecting data and assessing hazards for Kīlauea's middle East Rift Zone eruption. On September 18, 2024, around 3:15 pm HST, a fourth vent system opened just west of Nāpau Crater. Lava has been flowing over the western cliffs of Nāpau Crater and onto the crater floor.
