Overview

• The latest episode began at 11:57 a.m. on June 11, marking Kilauea’s 25th eruption since December 2024.
• Scientists recorded intense gas-pistoning up to ten times per hour before lava broke through the crater floor.
• Most of the volcano’s 25 eruptive events have lasted less than a day with pauses spanning several days.
• All activity remains confined to Halema‘uma‘u crater within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
• USGS scientists said future eruptions could produce even taller fountains if gas pressure continues to build.
