HAWAII — The Kīlauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island stopped erupting on Sunday after flowing for almost 10 hours. At its highest, the fountain of lava soared 1,300 feet in the air from the south vent, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The plume of smoke reached an altitude of around 35,000 feet.

Hot lava was caught on camera shooting more than 1,000 feet into the air.

Many Hawaiʻi Island communities downwind from the eruptive vents in the southwest portion of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater inside the summit caldera of Kīlauea have been affected by tephra fall since the episodic eruption and its lava fountains began Dec. 23, 2024.
