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.

Constant spattering began in the north vent around 6 pm HST on March 31. Tremor increased at 4 pm HST and continues to climb at 7:30 pm HST. Spattering also probably began at 4:30 pm HST but did rise and become visible until 5:20 pm HST.

Spatter in the north vent just after 6:00 pm HST on Monday March 31. Magma is at high levels in the conduit indicating episode 16 will start soon. Episode 14 and 15 high fountain stages were preceded by 20 hours of cyclic eruptions.
