Kilauea Message 2025-04-01 19:25:32 HST
The south vent has had sustained fountains of 600-700 feet for over 8 hours. If deflation patterns observed in previous episodes repeat, high fountains should last to at least 10:00 pm HST tonight. Enjoy episode 16! View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2025-04-01 12:38:11 HST
High fountains from the south vent have been varied from 500-700 feet since 11:00 a.m. HST. Light winds are blowing hot pumice, ash, and Pele's hair to the northwest of Kaluapele. Most pumice fall is confined to the closed area of HVNP. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2025-04-01 10:33:28 HST
High fountaining began from the south vent at 10:24 am HST on April 1. The change was preceded by about 5 minutes of steadily increasing vigor. South vent fountains are currently about 200 feet (70 meters) high. No change at north vent. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2025-04-01 10:24:30 HST
Fountaining from the south vent increased significantly and started producing lava flows at 10:12 am HST on April 1. Both vents are fountaining vigorously and tremor is increasing. Appear to be approaching the transition to high fountains. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2025-04-01 07:11:39 HST
Volcanoes in both Hawaiʻi and Iceland, the Earth's two largest hotspots, are erupting today. Happy April Fools Day! And they actually are erupting, no fooling! View All Messages.

HVO monitors earthquakes and the active volcanoes in Hawaii, assesses their hazards, issues warnings, and advances scientific understanding to reduce the impacts of volcanic eruptions. Communicating the results of our work to the public, emergency managers, and the scientific community is an important aspect of the HVO mission.
