Lava fountaining from the south vent of Kilauea’s Halema’uma’u crater in the morning of 12 Jan 2026 (image: HVO webcam)

The 40th episode of lava fountaining in the volcano’s summit crater Halemaʻumaʻu began a short time ago, at 8:22 a.m. HST local time on January 12.
The activity can be followed on live webcams maintained by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), such as youtube.com/watch?v=gXKuUyKt8mc.

The development of the seismic activity at Piton de la Fournaise since 23 November (image: OVPF)

The volcano observatory Observatoire Volcanologique du Piton de la Fournaise (OVPF) reported that a new volcanic unrest started at the volcano.

The latest seismic and deformation data from 1 January might reflect a new magma intrusion and migration under Dolomieu Crater. The seismic activity started to increase at 04:47 local time and by 06:00 local time, the seismic instrument detected approx. 304 volcano-tectonic earthquakes at depth between 1.6-2.3 km. Most of event were less than magnitude M 1. The elevated activity was accompanied by a rapid ground deformation (up to 10 microradians) at the summit.
Magma injection might occur at a 1 km depth under the crater.
Therefore, the volcano observatory raised the alert status of the volcano to Level 1 (Orange).
