Last weekend's spectacular 41st eruption of the Kilauea Volcano here on the Big Island (pictured in this amazing USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory time lapse video) occurred in a light wind regime which allowed "tephra"----defined as "any fragmental material, regardless of size or composition, that is blasted into the air by an explosive volcanic eruption"--- to rain down, not only within Volcanoes National Park, but also on surrounding communities. This was unusual because prevailing winds here

A remote camera captured the moment an erupting volcano in Hawaii knocked it out while recording on Saturday (December 6). Lava spewed from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Saturday, footage from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) captured. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said sustained lava fountains of approximately 50-100 feet (15-30 meters) in height were erupting from the north vent and that the heights of the lava fountains were rapidly increasing. The eruptions were confined to t

Lava tubes form as the surface of an active lava flow cools and slowly roofs over. The lava breakouts from Puʻu ʻŌʻō on May 24 formed flows that are growing to both the north and east. Scientists from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory went out into the field last week to investigate and found a skylight in a newly formed lava tube. This video shows the skylight, which is a window in the roof of a lava tube, and an insulated lava stream that is feeding breakout flows downslope. The skylight openin
