Lava fountain from Kilauea’s north vent in Halema’uma’u crater (image: HVO / USGS webcam)

The 47th lava fountaining episode 47 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption at the summit of Kīlauea began a few hours ago, at 3:27 p.m. HST local time on May 14. Fountaining activity is currently focused at the north vent, though the south vent is continuing to cyclically overflow.

Ground-level sensors near the eruptive vents indicate that winds are blowing from the northeast direction, which suggests that volcanic gas emissions and volcanic material may be distributed to the southwest direction from Halemaʻumaʻu.
