#200 to 400 feet
Episode 12 of ongoing Kīlauea summit eruption a wrap on Big Island
Fountains once again reached heights of 600 feet in the volcano’s caldera, which were sustained until the north vent in Halemaʻumaʻu Crater quit erupting at 8:26 p.m. March 4. Sustained fountains from the south vent saw heights of 200 to 400 feet throughout the night before decreasing. Just like the best season finale, however, the exciting, roaring eruptive event ended all too soon at 10:37 a.m. March 5, just less than 22 hours after it started.
