Hawaii – On January 10, 2026, Kīlauea’s Halemaʻumaʻu crater continues to erupt with dome-shaped lava fountains reaching 50 feet (12 meters), feeding flows from both north and south vents.

Overnight, intermittent lava overflows occurred with only brief pauses, keeping activity steady throughout the night.

This morning, volcanic spattering and tremors have intensified, signaling increasing unrest at one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

Forecast models predict that Episode 40 of sustained fountaining could occur between January 10 and 14, though current observations suggest it may begin at any moment.

The ongoing lava activity highlights Kīlauea’s persistent and unpredictable nature, as scientists closely monitor the evolving eruption.
