Hawaiian Volcano Resumes Eruption After Week-Long Pause
Kilauea volcano's eruption reignites within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, posing no immediate threat to nearby communities.
Hawaiian volcano Kilauea has resumed its eruption activities as of Wednesday, following a one-week hiatus.
The U.S. Geological Survey reports that the volcano is continuously emitting lava from its summit crater located within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The molten rock is contained within the park's boundaries and does not pose a threat to residential areas.
The current eruptive phase of Kilauea commenced on December 23, 2022, and has experienced over twelve interruptions and resumptions since its onset.
The shortest pause recorded lasted approximately 13 hours, while the longest spanned eight days.
This marks the sixth recorded eruption at Kilauea's summit since 2020.
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is home to two of the world’s most active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa.
Kilauea has also erupted in June and September 2024, further demonstrating its activity within recent years.
