The National Park Service is cautioning people to heed safety precautions while watching volcanic activity since the latest eruption of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano.

Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, erupted early Monday on Hawaii’s Big Island, sending out glittering torrents of lava.

The eruption of Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island has stayed within the mountain’s summit caldera inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Lava from Kilauea volcano resumed flowing into Halemaumau crater today after a dramatic early Monday morning eruption followed by a pause in the flow later that afternoon, according to Hawaiian Volcano Observatory officials.

Kīlauea erupts again at Halemaʻumaʻu Crater; residents and visitors warned to limit outdoor exposure to volcanic gas and wear protective gear.

Kilauea began erupting again on3, 2024. This is the eighth eruption of Kilauea, and the sixth within Kaluapele, since 2020. These previous eruptions within Kaluapele lasted from less than one week to more than a year in duration.
