The eruption of one the world’s most active volcanoes continues to captivate onlookers on Hawaii’s Big Island. The latest uptick in activity eruption has remained contained within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.

The eruption at Kīlauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii has entered its fourth eruptive phase as of this morning, January 15, 2025, following low-level lava spattering that began around 5:40 a.m.

This is the spectacular moment Kilauea Volcano spewed lava fountains as it continued to erupt in Hawaii. Dramatic video shows the fiery red geysers bursting from the ground on January 16. The United States Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the molten fountains reached up to 330ft from the north vent and 160ft from the south vent.
