This history of activity, along with continued summit inflation, suggests that eruptive activity may continue to pause and resume in the coming days or weeks,” scientists sai

Lava from Kilauea volcano resumed flowing into Halemaumau crater today after a dramatic early Monday morning eruption followed by a pause in the flow later that afternoon, according to Hawaiian Volcano Observatory officials.

Kilauea began erupting around 2:30 a.m. Monday morning local time at the base of the Halemaumau Crater within the summit caldera after elevated seismic activity was detected overnight.

Kilauea Volcano is erupting again after a three-month pause, the U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.Scientists described the eruption as “dynamic” and said the lava activity is confined to the summit caldera.
