Hawaii's Kīlauea Volcano erupted on July 9, 2025, marking its 28th fountaining episode since December 2024. The eruption featured lava fountains reaching heights of approximately 1,000 to 1,200 feet, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). The lava fountains originated from the volcano's north vent, which also emitted volcanic ash, pumice, and Pele's hair, blown to the south-southwest. The eruption was captured in multiple videos and heat signature imagery, showing intense lava activity at the summit within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Local reports and USGS footage highlighted the ongoing volcanic activity, while authorities issued alerts regarding glass shards that may pose hazards to skin. The event represents a continuation of Kīlauea's persistent eruptive behavior over the past several months.
