Ongoing Kilauea eruption in Hawaii. Live cam here!
Kilauea, on the Big Island of Hawaii, erupted again on Saturday, December 6, 2025, in spectacular fashion.
The fountains erupted from both the north and south vents, spewing lava more than 1,000 feet (300 meters) into the sky and destroying one of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) live cams.
In addition, an enormous plume of gas and fine glass particles extended up to 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) above sea level.
