New eruptive episode at Kīlauea has begun within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park

Eruptive episode 43 began at the summit of Kīlauea within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park on Hawai‘i Island at 9:17 a.m.

Ground-level sensors near the eruptive vents indicate that winds are light and variable, which suggests that volcanic gas emissions and volcanic material may be distributed unpredictably from Halemaʻumaʻu, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
