Oct 17, 2025: Largest Lava Fountains Yet, 1500ft! Kilauea Hawaii

USGS: Episode 35 fountains began at about 8:05 p.m. HST from the north vent after about 30 minutes of continuous overflows of degassed lava. The fountains rapidly grew to about 500 feet (150 meters) when the south vent began erupting at 8:50 p.m. HST. The south vent fountains grew rapidly and within 20 minutes equaled the north vent fountains in size. Both fountains have continued to increase in height and by 9:30 p.ml had exceeded 1000 feet (300 meters). The south vent fountain is currently (10:00 p.m. HST) just under 1500 feet (500 meters) high and the north vent fountains about 1100 feet (330 meters) high. These would be the highest single fountain and highest pair of fountains seen during this eruption. Sustained high fountains continue from both vents at this time. The plume of gas above the fountains extends to over 16,0000 feet (5,000 meters) above ground level. Tephra is reported by Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense falling on Highway 11 southwest of the vents. Fine ash and Peleʻs hair can be carried long distances and may impact a broad area of Kaʻu along the southern and southwestern parts of Mauna Loa. The summit has deflated approximately 7 microradians as measured on the Uēkahuna tiltmeter in about 2 hours. The rapid tilt drop and very high output from both vents suggest this may be another relatively short episode lasting less than 6-8 hours similar to episode 34.
