Halemaumau Crater (22 January 2025) (Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii)

(video taken by Michael Zoeller; public domain video provided by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory / HVO & United States Geological Survey / USGS)
--------------------------------
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 2025. 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 lava fountaining at the summit of Kilauea Volcano in January 2025. This is "episode 5", which occurred from 22 to 23 January 2025. "Episode 1" of the current eruption series started on 23 December 2024.
--------------------------------
Info. from the HVO & USGS:

In the early evening of Wednesday, January 22, just a few hours into the fifth episode of Kilauea's summit eruption, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists captured this high-resolution video of lava fountains at the northern eruptive vent (right) within Halemaumau Crater. The southern eruptive vent (left) was degassing but not actively erupting at the time.
