The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island erupted late on Sunday (December 20) and shot a steam cloud into the atmosphere that lasted about an hour.

These records represent the eruption from the Jaggar Overlook at about 11:30 pm and the view from the western rim of Kīlauea Caldera.

Footage shows the lava is erupting from a fissure in the NW wall of Halemaʻumaʻu crater and cascading into the deepest part of the crater.

Video from W rim of the caldera just before midnight. As of December 21 at 1:30 a.m. HST, the growing lava lake has almost reached the level of the lowest down-dropped block that formed during the 2018 collapse events. Over the past 2 hours, the lake has risen by ~10 m (32 ft).
As of just after 6 am HST on Dec 21, 2020, the middle of the 3 fissures that opened at Kīlauea last night has paused; the main eastern and weaker western fissures remain active. Lava continues to fill Halemaʻumaʻu, and volcanic gas and glass (Pele's hair) travels downwind.
