Kilauea Volcano Erupts in Hawaii at 2 a.m., Sending Lava Fountains Up to 300 Feet in Fourth Eruption of 2024
Dec 23, 2024, 07:36 PM
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, one of the world's most active volcanoes, began erupting early on December 23, 2024, at approximately 2 a.m. local time. The eruption, which follows a three-month pause, is characterized by lava fountains reaching heights of up to 300 feet and the release of hazardous gases. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed the eruptive activity, which is concentrated within the summit caldera of Kilauea, located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This marks the fourth eruption of Kilauea in 2024. Authorities have raised the volcano alert level to orange due to the potential dangers posed by volcanic gases and the ongoing lava activity. The eruption has drawn significant attention, with live streams capturing the dramatic display of lava and gas emissions.
