In Hawaii in the last days of January, a new eruption of one of the most active volcanoes in the world - Kilauea occurred. The Lava fountain rose 36 meters, and the ash rose with a pillar of 150 meters.

New flows of lava from Khalemaumau crater were recorded on January 28-29, the National Park of Hawaiian volcanoes Kilauea reports. Now the active volcano is only smoking.

Kilauea - an active volcano on Hawaii Island. It is considered the youngest ground volcano on the Hawaiian Islands and the most active in the world. Volcano height - 1247 m.

His largest eruption occurred in 1959. Lava fountains took off to a height of 600 m above the lava lake.

The following paroxysms of volcano activity were recorded in 1977, 2018 and 2023.

Scientists report that the pauses of the " After the eruption in September 2023, a new eruption inside the Halemaumau crater began in December 2024.

Now the working volcano is in a " But the National Park of Hawaiian volcanoes warns of bad weather, and the rain and wind are “contraindicated” to the volcanoes, so tourists are called to maximum caution.

This volcano is often visited by tourists. A museum has been built at its top, which contains information about all the volcanoes of the Hawaiian National Park and their eruptions.

Understanding the dynamic activity of Kilaue helps scientists to improve the forecasts of future eruptions and evaluate global volcanic processes. Researchers are concentrated on the disclosure of mysterious interaction between the gas content, the pressure of magma and the dynamics of lava flow.

The activity of the volcano will probably last with subsequent pauses and restoration, experts suggest.

Recall also that one of the largest supervolcans of the world can explode.
