Hawai’i, USA – On January 23, 2026, Kilauea Volcano is beginning to show early signs of lava glow in the dark, signaling renewed volcanic activity.

It has been about a week since the previous eruption, episode 40, ended. Scientists predict that episode 41 could begin any time between today and January 25, 2026.

Early observations include small lava splatters and precursory activity, indicating that lava fountains may soon reappear. Experts describe this as normal precursory behavior before a full eruption.

Volcanic watchers remain alert, noting that the glow and minor splatters are early signs that more significant activity is likely imminent. Updates will continue as conditions evolve.
