Kilauea volcano erupts, sending lava fountains 1,000 feet high and triggering ash warnings

The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupted on Tuesday, sending lava fountains up to 1,000 feet high and prompting temporary closures of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and part of Highway 11 due to falling volcanic fragments and ash. This marks the 43rd eruption episode since December 2024. An ashfall warning was issued, with expectations of significant ash accumulation in affected areas. While the lava remains confined to the summit crater, nearby communities are experiencing disruptions from tephra.
