On June 1, 2026, Kīlauea volcano on the Island of Hawaiʻi made history.

Its ongoing summit eruption in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park has now produced 48 fountaining episodes—surpassing the previous record set by Puʻuʻōʻō eruption in the 1980s (47 fountaining episodes).

With no signs of this eruption slowing, Kīlauea will continue to rewrite the record books with every new episode.

🎥: USGS photos/videos of lava fountaining episodes 28, 38, and 34.

Video description: A volcano spews bright orange lava high up into the sky. A distant shot shows a tree branch swaying in the wind, as the volcano erupts lava in the distance. A final closer view of the eruption.
