Both north and south vent fountains remain 500-650 feet (150-200 meters) high. Light tephra continues to fall around the summit of Kīlauea. Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense reports that Highway 11 is reopened. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2026-01-24 16:55:45 HST
Fountains from both vents are just under 650 feet (200 m) high, less than half their maximum height. Tephra fall continues to be reported from communities north and east of the vents. Check with HVNP and HCCD for updates to closures. View All Messages.
Kilauea Message 2026-01-24 15:17:06 HST
Fountains from both vents are currently about 650 feet (200 m) high. Fine ash from this eruption has reached as far (25 miles, 40 kilometers) as Hilo and Hawaiian Paradise Park. The summit has deflated about 19 microradians during ep. 41. View All Messages.

HVO monitors earthquakes and the active volcanoes in Hawaii, assesses their hazards, issues warnings, and advances scientific understanding to reduce the impacts of volcanic eruptions. Communicating the results of our work to the public, emergency managers, and the scientific community is an important aspect of the HVO mission.
