Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted spectacularly on June 20th, 2025, with lava fountains reaching 1,000 feet. This is 'Episode 26' of ongoing eruptions at the Halemaʻumaʻu crater since December. The USGS issued a code orange warning, noting lava flows are confined to a remote area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, but volcanic gas and tephra are potential hazards. The eruption follows previous significant events in May and June, highlighting Kilauea's continued high activity.
