The latest episode of Kilauea’s ongoing eruption began at 8:22 p.m. Wednesday in Halemaumau crater within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

A recording from a USGS live video of the ongoing Kilauea volcano eruption shows a lava fountain at Halemaʻumaʻu crater on Feb. 20, 2025.

Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, has been erupting on and off for nearly two months since it burst to life on Dec. 23. The eruption has been taking place at the volcano's summit crater inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. No residential areas have been threatened by lava.
