The 23rd eruption episode since December just tore open HalemaΚ»umaΚ»u crater β shooting lava over 1,000 feet into the air from Kilaueaβs north vent.
For scale: thatβs nearly the height of the Eiffel Tower. The south vent joined in too β with 230-foot fountains of its own. This latest burst started yesterday, part of a relentless cycle of eruption and pause thatβs been building for months.
