The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says the Sept. 10 Kīlauea summit eruption stopped on Saturday and is unlikely to restart.

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said Sunday’s eruption at the Kīlauea volcano includes a line of fissures that stretches approximately 0.8 miles from the eastern part of Halema‘uma‘u crater floor, extending into the east wall of the downdropped block.

A 3.5 magnitude earthquake hit near Pāhala on Sunday.

Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park announced its flight operations for June 2023, which includes the volcano observatory retrieving temporary seismic instruments.

Geologists at Hawaiian Volcano Observatory study the volcanoes that make up the Hawaiian Islands and biologists at the research center study the ecosystems on them. 

In the past 5 years, the average weekly number of earthquakes has increased from about 60 to 600 per week under Pāhala, the Big Islandʻs most seismically active area.

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park remains open following a new eruption on Mauna Loa volcano that began in the summit caldera late Sunday night and migrated to the northeast rift zone this morning.

A public information session about Mauna Loa will be held on Oct. 22 at the Ocean View Community Center from 1 to 3 p.m.

On March 18, 2021, (HVO) recorded more than 40 earthquakes beneath the upper Ka‘ōiki seismic zone, about 13 miles WNW of Volcano.

The rise of the lava lake has been interrupted by several plateaus, and even drops, in level over the past few weeks.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory released an update on Tuesday, May 7, 2019.

January 2019 marks the 10th annual “Volcano Awareness Month” on the Island of Hawai‘i.

The U.S. Geological Survey released the Hawai‘i Volcano Observatory Weekly Update on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018.

For Hawai‘i earthquake depths, the zero point is now sea level. Positive depths indicate downward from sea level, and negative depths indicate upward from sea level.

there are several ways that Hawai‘i residents, visitors, and public safety officials, as well as volcano fans around the globe, can follow what’s happening at Hawaiian volcanoes.

The 5.3-magnitude earthquake on June 8, 2017, was the highest intensity recorded for any earthquake in the State of Hawai‘i since 2006.

Today’s Big Island earthquake occurred about 43 miles southwest of Lō‘ihi, and was not caused by activity on that submarine volcano. The depth, location, and recorded seismic waves of the earthquake suggest a source due to bending of the oceanic plate from the weight of the Hawaiian island chain.

In this week’s Volcano Watch, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory recognizes the community dedication of Hawai’i County Civil Defense Administrator Darryl Oliveira as he gets ready to retire.

The June 27 lava flow front is currently 0.5 miles from Pahoa Village Road and 0.9 miles from Highway 130, moving at a rate of 10 yards per hour.
