Hawaiʻi Island, Hawaii – This timelapse video, taken by the V3cam on the south rim of the crater, shows all of episode 23 of the ongoing Kīlauea summit eruption.

The eruption was active from 4:15 p.m. HST to 10:25 p.m. on May 25.

Both the north and south vents in Halemaʻumaʻu erupted during this episode.

Lava fountains from the north vent shot more than 1,000 feet (300 meters) into the air.

Fountains from the south vent reached over 800 feet (250 meters).

The eruptive plume was dense with tephra, including ash, scoria, and Pele’s hair.

It rose to at least 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) in height.

Lava flows from episode 23 covered about half of the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu crater, within the southern part of Kaluapele.
