Hilo, Hawaii – This video shows timelapse sequences for episode 25 and episode 26 of lava fountaining at the summit of Kīlauea.

Both episodes were dominated by powerful fountaining from the north vent.

The lava jets soared over 350 meters, or about 1150 feet, into the sky.

Each eruption produced an arched fountain that launched molten rock onto the southern side of the vents.

This material formed secondary lava flows, known as agglutinated spatter flows.

These intense bursts of volcanic activity reveal the ongoing force beneath one of Hawaii’s most active volcanoes.
