| Description |
English: Lava fountaining in September 2023 at Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano. (public domain photo by Johanne Schmith & provided by the United States Geological Survey)
Mt. Kilauea is the world’s most active volcano. It sits atop the Hawaii Hotspot in the central Pacific Ocean. It had a decades-long eruption from 1983 to 2018, with intermittent, low-intensity eruptions since then. Kilauea lavas are basaltic in composition, but the physical appearance of Kilauea’s output varies. Many of Kilauea’s ongoing basaltic eruptions have occurred along its East Rift Zone, a fracture system extending ~eastward from the summit vent area. Image caption from the United States Geological Survey (slightly edited for clarity): Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists observed the new eruption within Kilauea's summit caldera during an eruption-monitoring overflight the morning of September 11, 2023. Multiple minor fountains remain active in the eastern portion of Halemaumau Crater's floor and on the downdropped block within Kilauea's summit caldera. The line of vents stretches approximately 0.8 miles / 1.4 kilometers from the eastern part of Halemaumau Crater's floor, extending into the east wall of the downdropped block. Lava fountain heights have decreased since the eruption onset, but remain up to about 32-50 feet / 10-15 meters high this morning. Locality: summit caldera of Kilauea Volcano, southeastern Hawaii, USA |
