🔴 Live Now: Kilauea Volcano Eruption Pauses. Hawaii (Multi-Cam)

USGS Report: Kīlauea summit eruption paused as of January 28. A new eruptive episode may begin within the next 2-5 days in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.
Episode 7 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption ended abruptly at 10:47 a.m. HST on January 28 after about 16 hours of eruptive activity. Kīlauea's current eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu crater within Kaluapele (the summit caldera) began on December 23, 2024. There have been 7 episodes of lava fountaining separated by pauses in activity. The eruption may resume within the next 2-5 days based on current rates of summit inflation. Seismicity is low with about small earthquakes beneath the summit and rift zones of Kīlauea. All eruptive activity has occurred in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. No unusual activity has been noted along Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone or Southwest Rift Zone.
Current hazards include volcanic gas emissions and windblown volcanic glass (Pele’s Hair) that may impact Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park and nearby communities.
Summit Observations:
Lava fountains and flows erupting from the south vent within Halema'uma'u crater stopped erupting just after 10:43 a.m. HST on Janurary 28. The north vent shut down five minutes later at 10:47 a.m. HST. Lava flows from episode 7 covered nearly half of Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor. Spots of orange glow can still be seen on the crater floor as the erupted lava continues to cool. Glow from the eruptive vents and continued degassing indicates that magma remains close to the surface.
The Uēkahuna tiltmeter (UWD) recorded more than 7 microradians of deflationary tilt during episode 7, more than twice the amount recorded during episodes 5 and 6. As episode 7 ended there was a rapid change in summit tilt from deflation to inflation along with a decrease in seismic tremor intensity. UWD has recorded just under 3 microradians of inflationary tilt since the end of episode 7. Less than 5 small earthquakes were recorded in the summit region over the past 24 hours. Low level seismic tremor continues.
Weather conditions and episode timing have prevented accurate measurements of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rate since earlier in the eruption sequence. Based on emissions measured during earlier episodes and pauses, SO2 emission rates are currently estimated to be near 1,000 t/d.
