Hawaiian Kilauea volcano with lava shot to 480 meters


The eruption of the Hawaiian Kilauea volcano produced lava fountains reaching 480 meters in height during its 41st episode of activity.

The forty-first episode of the Kilauea volcano eruption, recorded on January 24, included lava being ejected to a height of 480 meters, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

The current eruption was characterized by accompanying strong seismic activity, while the height of the lava fountains reached its peak shortly after the activity began in the south and north wing of the crater, the aforementioned entity reported.

A Natural Phenomenon to Watch

On January 13 of this year, the USGS reported that the first eruption in 2026 of the aforementioned volcano occurred in Hawaii, and at that time the lava height reached 200 meters.

Kilauea, one of the five located in Hawaii, is considered one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and its formation dates back over 700,000 years when it emerged from the sea.

The largest and longest eruption of the aforementioned volcano, also considered the most extensive in the world, occurred on January 3, 1983. From January 2011, the eruption left 3.5 cubic kilometers of lava and added 123.2 square kilometers of land to the island. (Source: Prensa Latina)
