Checkout this terrifying footage of the Kīlauea summit eruption causing 13 hours of lava fountains.
The seventeeth episode of Kīlauea’s ongoing eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu crater within , Hawaii, USA, resulting in lava fountains erupting from the north vent.
The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists observed the lava fountaining in episode 17 of the ongoing summit eruption of Kīlauea.
The lava fountaining was producing a towering outgassing plume above the summit, and was supplying lava into a swiftly flowing channel carried lava east across the Halema‘uma‘u crater floor.
As the north vent within Halema’uma’u crater periodically hosted low-level dome fountains during periods of cyclic lava effusion and drainback, high fountaining later took place.
