Kilauea Lava Fountains Are Soaring as High as 1100 Feet as the Volcano’s 36th Eruption Episode Begins
H awaii's Kilauea volcano is on a roll. The active volcano recently had its 36th episode of eruption, and it was quite magnificent. The blazing streams of lava exploded out of the vents for five hours straight,
One of the most active volcanoes in the world is gearing up for a spectacular eruption, according to the United States Geological Survey.
Volcanic gas emissions have greatly decreased. Lava flows from this episode on the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu within the southern part of Kaluapele (Kīlauea caldera) may continue to exhibit slow movement or incandescence as they cool and solidify over the coming days, according to the latest event recap.
Kīlauea’s summit inflation has stalled; however, repeated overflows in the last day from the north and south vents indicate the start of episode 36 will likely begin between Nov. 6 and Nov. 11.
