Update from HVO
Kīlauea volcano's middle East Rift Zone eruption resumed late on September 16, 2024, and continues this morning within Nāpau Crater in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists conducted an overflight to document the eruption and assess hazards. Geologists observed fountaining from eruptive fissures and active lava flows on the floor of Nāpau Crater, just downrift (northeast) of the September 15 eruptive fissure.
The current activity is restricted to Kīlaueaʻs upper-to-middle East Rift Zone, in a remote and closed area of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
Continued gas emissions from the eruptive fissures may pose a hazard to humans downwind of the eruption site.

This view from a 6:45 a.m. HST sunrise at overflight shows the eruption is confined to Halemaʻumaʻu crater in the summit caldera. Mauna Loa (not erupting) is along the horizon in the background. ow.ly/rxRm50Mkfwv

Check the #HVO webcams! The ongoing eruption of Kīlauea’s volcano in Halemaʻumaʻu crater @Volcanoes_NPS shows lava completely resurfacing the old lava lake in the crater floor. The full moon is visible on the horizon. ow.ly/ZgBx50Mk2Nh
