Kilauea Volcano Erupts with Fiery Fury, Spewing Lava and Hazards Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano has once again roared to life, sending plumes of molten lava hundreds of feet into the air and raising concerns about the health risks for those in the surrounding areas. This recent eruption, which took place on September 2, was captured on video and labeled as Episode 32 by the US Geological Survey (USGS). It marks the 32nd episode of volcanic activity in Kilauea's ongoing eruption cycle that began in December 2024 at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. The eruption started early Tuesday morning and continued for over 13 hours before abruptly stopping at 2:01 am ET (8:01 pm in Hawaii). During this time, lava shot up as high as 500 feet into the sky, while a smoky cloud rose to an altitude of 10,000 feet above the Big Island. The event significantly impacted the summit crater, known as Halemaʻumaʻu, covering between 40 and 50 percent of its bowl-shaped area. Although the eruption did not imme...

The Spectacular Eruption of Kilauea Volcano Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano recently erupted in a stunning display, with molten lava shooting up to 100 feet into the air. This event captivated onlookers who were fortunate enough to witness the powerful spectacle. As one of the world's most active volcanoes, Kilauea has experienced 31 eruptions since December, marking it as a significant natural phenomenon. This particular eruption is only the fourth time in 200 years that Kilauea has produced lava fountains in repeated episodes. Previous instances occurred in 1959, 1969, and 1983. The north vent at the summit crater began spattering early on Friday morning, followed by an overflow of lava later in the day, resulting in dramatic lava fountains during the afternoon. Importantly, the eruption was contained within the summit crater, ensuring that no homes were threatened. Lucky tourists and locals gathered at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park for a front-row view of this natural spectacle. Pa...

Mount Teide and the Potential for Future Eruptions Mount Teide, located on the island of Tenerife, continues to attract millions of visitors each year due to its breathtaking landscapes and unique geological features. However, recent seismic activity has sparked concerns among locals and tourists alike. A series of 700 tiny earthquakes, known as a seismic swarm, occurred in the Las Cañadas area near Pico Viejo, leading to fears that the volcano might erupt during the peak tourist season. The seismic events began at 2 a.m. local time on August 7th and lasted until dawn. Although these tremors were minor, they raised questions about the potential for a more significant volcanic event. Despite the concern, scientists have reassured the public that there is no immediate threat of a major eruption. However, experts do believe that an eruption will eventually occur, with estimates suggesting a 30 to 40 percent chance of another eruption within the next 50 years. Scientific Assessments and...

Historic Eruption of Krasheninnikov Volcano in Russia Stunning footage has captured the moment a volcano in Russia dramatically erupted for the first time in 600 years. The Krasheninnikov Volcano, located in the Kamchatka Peninsula, erupted overnight, marking a significant event in geological history. This eruption coincided with the epicenter of an 8.8-magnitude earthquake that triggered tsunami warnings across several regions. During the blast, which is the first in recorded history, the volcano spewed an ash plume reaching 29,000 feet into the sky. Pilots circling the area were warned of flight dangers with a red aviation alert following the eruption in eastern Russia. Experts confirmed that this is the first historically verified eruption of Krasheninnikov Volcano in 600 years. Olga Girina, head of the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team, highlighted that the last lava effusion took place around 1436, within an 80-year range. Since then, no eruption had been known to occur...
