Overview

  • Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, resumed eruptive activity on Tuesday morning, February 11, 2025.
  • Lava began flowing onto the Halemaʻumaʻu Crater floor at 10:16 a.m., with a vent ejecting lava up to 330 feet high shortly thereafter.
  • This eruption is the ninth since December 23, 2024, with previous episodes lasting between 13 hours and eight days, separated by pauses.
  • No residential areas are threatened, but volcanic gas emissions and windblown volcanic glass present potential hazards near the park.
  • Visitors have gathered at designated viewing areas in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to safely witness the ongoing eruption.
