Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey say Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has once again awoken from its slumber, sending lava shooting hundreds of feet into the air early Tuesday morning in what has become an almost weekly occurrence.

An erupting Hawaii volcano was shooting fountains of lava hundreds of feet into the sky. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says Kilauea's fountains reached heights of 400 to 500 feet Tuesday.

Video footage captured by Scott Malis during the volcano's 11th episode shows lava spewing out of Kilauea volcano and spinning into the air.

According to the US Geological Survey’s (USGS) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, episode 12 of the Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began on Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. HST when sporadic lava flows alternated between the south and north cones. The episode ended at 10:37 a.m. HST on Wednesday.

Fountains dropped in height 250 feet (80 meters) to 300 feet (90 meters) on Tuesday night, according to the Hawaii Volcano Observatory. On Wednesday morning, a webcam still showed tall bursts of fiery red lava and billowing smoke.

A stunning video recorded during a recent eruptive episode of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano in February shows lava spinning into the air like a dust devil.

Watch: Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, produces a rare lavanado during it's 11th episode since December 2024.

Kilauea’s 13th episode began early this morning at 2:36 a.m., according to Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists, bringing lava fountains of 400 to 500 feet high in the following hour. Scientists said Episode 13 was preceded by small,
