Kilauea volcano erupted, sending lava up to 1,000 feet high and an ash plume 5,000 feet into the air.

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted on Sunday, shooting lava fountains up to 1,000 feet high from its north vent and 230 feet from its south vent. The eruption lasted several hours and sent an ash plume 5,000 feet into the air. The volcano, one of the world's most active, has been erupting intermittently since December 2024. Lava flows remained within the summit caldera, posing no threat to residential areas. The USGS monitors the volcano closely, issuing timely updates and warnings.
