1959 Kīlauea Iki Eruption

The 1959 eruption of Kīlauea Iki Crater was a relatively short-lived event (November 14 to December 20, 1959) and produced some of Kīlauea's most spectacular lava fountains of the 20th century. Most importantly, the eruption provided some of the first measurable data about the magma reservoir system at Kīlauea.
