Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey say Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has once again awoken from its slumber, sending lava shooting hundreds of feet into the air early Tuesday morning in what has become an almost weekly occurrence.

Video footage captured by Scott Malis during the volcano's 11th episode shows lava spewing out of Kilauea volcano and spinning into the air.

Kilauea’s Halemaʻumaʻu crater eruption picked up again early on March 10, with lava fountains shooting up to 400-500 feet (120-150 meters) just after 2:30 a.m. HST, according to the U.S.

According to the US Geological Survey’s (USGS) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, episode 12 of the Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began on Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. HST when sporadic lava flows alternated between the south and north cones. The episode ended at 10:37 a.m. HST on Wednesday.

Kilauea is in a unique phase of activity in Halema‘uma‘u, with 12 episodes of dual lava fountains since Dec. 23, 2024.

An erupting Hawaii volcano once again began shooting fountains of lava that reached hundreds of feet high on Tuesday.

The 13th episode of Kīlauea’s Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began at 2:36 a.m. HST on March 11. By 3:30 a.m., lava fountains reached 600 feet.
