The 44th episode of lava fountaining on Thursday saw streams ascending over 500 feet above the vent in spectacular color.

No other puʻus exist on the caldera rim, but geologic deposits of tephra fall mapped in Kīlauea’s summit region indicate that high lava fountains erupted within Kaluapele around the years 1500, 1650, and in the first two decades of the 1800s.

Lava blasted more than 650 feet into the air as Kilauea, a Hawaiian volcano, roared to life on Thursday. The eruption began at 11:10 a.m. local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, sending fountains of lava bursting from the volcano’s north vent for more than eight hours before ending at 7:41 p.

Dubbed the Kikai caldera, this mostly-underwater caldera located south of Japan’s Ryuku Islands last erupted 7,300 years ago, marking the largest volcanic eruption in the current geological epoch, the Holocene.

Lava exploded more than 200 meters into the air as Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted on Thursday.

A recent study reveals that the Poás volcano has changed its eruption pattern, redefining the global ash-related risk map.

Understanding what triggers large volcanic eruptions is crucial for hazard assessment, but the exact mechanism driving these eruptions is still poorly understood. The prevailing theory is that volatile exsolution—gas coming out of magma—is a main driver of eruptions,
