Shocking moment 1,000ft fiery lava jet erupts in 6-hour volcano frenzy as scientists warn of wind spreading toxic gas
ONE of the world's most active volcanoes has erupted again in Hawaii, spewing nearly 1,000ft lava jets into the sky. That's nearly as high as the Eiffel Tower. 3 3 Footage of the six-hour-long eruption show spurting fountains of neon orange lava at Hawaii's infamous Kilauea volcano. It is the volcano's 23rd eruption since December 2024 - and the biggest in this series of outbursts, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), which livestreamed the event. Since its eruption late last year, Kilauea's activity has been intermittent, with some displays lasting days. What started as sporadic, thin jets of lava erupting from the north vent, turned into monstrous columns of lava. Within half an hour of the eruption starting on 25 May, the lava fountain reached 984ft (300m). Soon after, lava started shooting out of the south vent, reaching 820ft (250m) in height. While the eruptions have been contained within the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, experts have warned of toxic gas spreading into populated areas. Each splutter of lava kicked out plumes of ash, volcanic glass and rock, which eventually reached nearly 5,000ft (1,500m) into the sky. Inside active volcano where world's largest ACID lake is buried - so dangerous it melts human skin & spews blue lava Scientists at the USGS said the volcanic gas could travel downwind and cause respiratory issues in high-impact areas. "High levels of volcanic gas—primarily water vapor (HO), carbon dioxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO)—are the primary hazard of concern, as this hazard can have far-reaching effects downwind," they wrote. "As SO is continuously released from the summit during an eruption, it will react in the atmosphere to create the visible haze known as vog (volcanic smog) downwind of Kīlauea. "SO and vog may cause respiratory and other problems at high concentrations." People may also experience skin and eye irritation as a result of the flows. Pele's hair - thin strands of volcanic glass - can float through the air and puncture skin, like a wood splinter. No residential areas have been affected by the lava flows. The eruption has since subsided, but experts believe another outburst may occur soon.

Kilauea spews lava as Hawaii volcano erupts again
One of the world's most active volcanoes has erupted again in from Kilauea on Hawaii's Big Island showed fountains of lava being sprayed 300 metres into the the 23rd time that activity has taken place on the volcano since it erupted in December last is one of six active volcanoes located in the Hawaiian Islands, which also include Mauna Loa, the largest volcano in the world. What's happened? Kilauea is the most active volcano on Hawaii's Big have been ongoing regular eruptions taking place there for the past forty to experts, activity at the summit - or top - of Kilauea has been coming and going since an eruption in December USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the latest eruption began on Sunday, in the north vent of one of the craters of Kilauea, called Halema'uma'u. The agency added that fountains of lava were sprayed more than 300 metres into the air and that lava flows had covered the floor of the crater. Around an hour later, activity also started in the south vent - spewing smaller lava fountains around 70 metres in observatory told CBS News that lava flows remained within Kilauea's summit caldera, and did not affect any residential areas. Why are there volcanoes on Hawaii? Most volcanoes form at the boundaries of Earth's tectonic plates, huge slabs of Earth's crust and upper mantle, which fit together like pieces of a plates are not fixed but are constantly moving at a very slow Hawaii is slightly different, as it doesn't sit on a plate volcanoes have formed the long chain of islands because of the "Hawaiian hot spot".A hot spot is made up of super-heated material deep inside the earth, located in the middle of a magma - or molten rock - rises upwards through the planet's some of it pushes its way to the surface, a volcanic eruption takes place.

Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island has latest eruption
A volcano's latest eruption on Hawaii's Big Island fountained lava more than 1,000 ft. into the sky on May 25. The Kilauea volcano, on the island of Hawaii, had a plume reach about 5,000 ft. high, according to a Hawaiian Volcano Observatory status report. The eruption was in a closed area of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, located about 200 miles and several islands southeast of Honolulu. The national park has Kilauea and Mauna Loa, the latter being the world's largest active volcano. Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes, the U.S. Geological Survey said. With its summit at 4,091 ft., Kilauea has had lava fountaining from its Halemaumau crater since Dec. 23, the observatory, which is part of USGS, said in its May 25 report. This is the 23rd episode of the ongoing eruption from Halemaumau, which is part of Kilauea's larger caldera at its summit. The May 25 eruption occurred for about six hours in two vents of Halemaumau, with the north vent ending at 9:48 p.m. local time and the south vent at 10:25 p.m., according to USGS updates. Overnight, officials were primarily concerned with high levels of volcanic gas such as water vapor, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide that can have far-reaching effects downwind. Sulfur dioxide reacts in the atmosphere to create visible haze of volcanic smog, called vog. In high concentrations, vog and sulfur dioxide can cause respiratory problems and other health concerns. Other concerns are what's called 'Pele's hair' and other volcanic fragments from lava fountains. Pele's hair is strands of volcanic glass that can cluster together and look like tumbleweeds. The volcanic fragments fall down within a few hundred yards from eruptive vents, though strong winds can launch the light particles downwind. On the ground, Pele's hair and other fragments can cause skin and eye irritation, and officials warn residents and visitors to minimize exposure to these particles. At Kilauea's summit, there are significant hazards with the crater's instability, ground cracking and rockfalls, especially after earthquakes. But, the area has been closed to the public since 2007. Most episodes of Halemaumau's lava fountaining last a day or less, officials said. They are separated by pauses in activity lasting several days, generally. The observatory planned to issue another update the morning of May 26 local time. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Hawaii's Big Island has latest volcanic eruption at Kilauea
