Description

(public domain image provided by the United States Geological Survey)

Mt. Kilauea is the world’s most active volcano. It sits atop the Hawaii Hotspot in the central Pacific Ocean and had a decades-long eruption from 1983 to 2018. Eruptive activity started up again in December 2020 and continued into 2021. Kilauea lavas are basaltic in composition, but the physical appearance of Kilauea’s output varies tremendously. Many of Kilauea’s eruptions occurred along its East Rift Zone, a fracture system extending ~eastward from the summit vent area.

Seen here is an active eruption center ("fissure 8") along Kilauea's East Rift Zone in early June 2018. This was part of the "lower Puna eruption", which occurred from early May to fall 2018.

Locality: East Rift Zone, Kilauea Volcano, southeastern Hawaii, central Pacific Basin
