Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been erupting since December 23, 2024, and is currently entering its 10th month. Statistics show thatAs of today, there have been 36 fountain-like eruptions, and in the most recent event, spectacular "lava wings" were formed..

It mainly erupts from the two vents on the north and south sides of the Halema'uma'u crater.The hot magma surges into the sky like a pair of fiery red wings, reaching a maximum height of 1,500 feet (about 450 meters). The scene is spectacular, like hell..
During the eruption, a rare "volcanic tornado" appeared. You can see the rotating vortex formed by the hot air and cold air, enveloping the volcanic ash to form an orange-red "fire whip".
Data show that Kilauea volcano is located on the "hot spot" of the Pacific Plate and has been erupting for millions of years. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
During the 1959 eruption, the lava fountain reached a height of 580 meters, setting a historical record.In the 2018 major eruption, more than 700 houses were destroyed, thousands of people were evacuated, and the crater collapsed and expanded..
Volcanic eruptions will indeed create rare spectacles. When the Etna volcano in Italy erupted in 2019, a lifelike "fire phoenix" was formed in the night sky. Subsequent eruptions also formed similar scenes, which is fascinating.
