Kīlauea summit region shook for 5 hours Nov. 14 that year as magma made a path to the surface. The eruption began at 8:08 p.m. as a series of small lava fountains on the south wall of Kīlauea Iki Crater, east of Kaluapele — the summit caldera of Kīlauea. Gradually, during the next day, eruptive activity became focused at one vent.

From USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory livestreaming V2cam, a plume-like fountain erupted from the north vent during episode 24 on June 4–5, 2025, creating an elegant arc. With a maximum fountain height of 364 meters (1194 feet), this was the highest fountain observed up until that point. USGS photo.

Mount Etna is Europe’s most active volcano and the continent’s largest. It attracts hikers and backpackers to its slopes, while less adventurous tourists can take it in from a distance, most stunningly from the Ionian Sea.

A total of 150 rockfall events and 90 pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) was recorded over the Mayon Volcano in Albay for the past 24 hours as it remained under Alert Level 3, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said on Saturday.

Kīlauea has been erupting episodically since Dec. 23, 2024, primarily from two vents (north and south) in Halema‘uma‘u. Eruptive episodes, which can last up to 12 hours, are separated by pauses that can be as long as over two weeks.

The Philippines has evacuated nearly 3,000 villagers from a danger zone on the foothills of the Mayon Volcano after officials raised the alert level due to recent activity.

Satellites detect that Iran's Taftan volcano has risen 3.5 inches, which is an indication of internal pressure and volcanic reactivation.
