Hawaii's Kīlauea volcano continues eruptive activity with the 30th episode beginning on Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2025. USGS cameras are showing live video of the ongoing eruption from east and west views of Halemaʻumaʻu crater.

Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano began erupting again on Wednesday for the 30th time in under a year, continuing to be among one of the world’s most active volcanoes. The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) said “vigorous fountaining” of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater eruption began around 1:20 a.m. HST.

Low-level degassing and seismic tremor at Halema‘uma‘u have been ongoing since early Monday morning, suggesting precursory activity for episode 30 of the Kīlauea eruption, with lava fountaining likely.
