Kīlauea Eruption: First Lava Fountain #Volcano #Science

#Volcano #Eruption #Geology #Shorts Filmed at Halemaʻumaʻu crater, Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, September 10, 2023. At 3:13 p.m. HST, a fissure opened on the downdropped block—a section of the crater floor that collapsed more than 100 m during the 2018 summit collapse. The eruption produced sustained lava fountains up to ~40 m high, driven by a shallow magma reservoir beneath the summit.
