Hilo, HI – Kīlauea Volcano began erupting early Monday morning, marking a significant geological event at Hawaii’s active summit. Lava spewed from the volcano’s southwest caldera starting at 2:20 a.m. HST.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), falling volcanic ash has been limited to the immediate summit area. No communities outside the summit are currently affected. Thermal imagery released by USGS shows bright lava flows and intense heat across the eruption zone.
USGS reports that its Hawaii Volcano Observatory is closely monitoring the situation. Updates are being posted regularly on official platforms to ensure public safety. Residents and visitors are advised to remain cautious and avoid summit areas.
Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, last erupted earlier this year. Scientists have warned that volcanic activity can fluctuate rapidly.
While the eruption remains confined, authorities encourage the public to stay informed. Real-time updates and detailed information can be found on USGS’s Kīlauea Volcano monitoring page.
