Low spatter fountains from the south vent have been increasing from initial heights of 15-30 feet to 30-60 feet by 3:00 am HST on April 8. Tremor continues to gradually increase as well and is accompanied by slow deflation of the summit.

Episode 17 of the ongoing Halema'uma'u eruption began just before 10:15 pm HST on April 7 after about 45 minutes of increased glow. This is the onset of continuous effusion that has preceded several of the high fountaining episodes.

The south vent has had sustained fountains of 600-700 feet for over 8 hours. If deflation patterns observed in previous episodes repeat, high fountains should last to at least 10:00 pm HST tonight. Enjoy episode 16!

High fountains from the south vent have been varied from 500-700 feet since 11:00 a.m. HST. Light winds are blowing hot pumice, ash, and Pele's hair to the northwest of Kaluapele. Most pumice fall is confined to the closed area of HVNP.

High fountaining began from the south vent at 10:24 am HST on April 1. The change was preceded by about 5 minutes of steadily increasing vigor. South vent fountains are currently about 200 feet (70 meters) high. No change at north vent.

Fountaining from the south vent increased significantly and started producing lava flows at 10:12 am HST on April 1. Both vents are fountaining vigorously and tremor is increasing. Appear to be approaching the transition to high fountains.

Volcanoes in both Hawaiʻi and Iceland, the Earth's two largest hotspots, are erupting today. Happy April Fools Day! And they actually are erupting, no fooling!

Continuous dome fountaining and spattering 15-30 feet high continue in the north vent. Fountaining has filled the inner crater with lava and a lava pond became visible around 8:30 pm HST; rising just below the crater lip by 9:00 pm HST.
