Hawaii's Mount Kilauea is currently erupting, releasing a fountain of molten lava as volcanic activity continues on Wednesday.

Recent volcanic activity across the Pacific Ring of Fire has raised alarms among scientists and volcanologists, with several volcanoes experiencing heightened eruptions and seismic tremors. The Ring of Fire,

Snowshoeing on Kīlauea? High fountain episodes pose new challenges to monitoring - Features | Hawaii Tribune-Herald

Another explosive episode of Kilauea’s volcanic activity came and went Wednesday after Episode 28 of the ongoing eruption in Halemaumau Crater saw eight hours of high fountaining.

KILAUEA (HawaiiNewsNow) - Episode 28 of the of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began at around 4:10 a.m. HST on Wednesday, July 9. Lava fountains are actively spewing upward of 150 feet into the air. Past episodes have produced lava fountains reaching 1,000 feet in the air.

KILAUEA, Hawai'i (Island News) -- The 28th episode of Kilauea abruptly ended after hours of fountaining on Wednesday. The eruption ended at 1:20 p.m.

Volcanoes are rumbling as scientists monitor earthquakes at Washington's Mount Rainier and Alaska's Iliamna volcano.

Essentially, gas pistoning is a shallow, degassing-driven rise and fall of a lava surface. Often these pistons occur in narrow conduits — although they can happen in larger lava lakes and even in lava channels — and in bunches, as part of a series.

An Alaskan volcano that has been inactive for more than 100 years is showing signs of rumbling, according to scientists. However, there's a chance that the activity could be signs of a pending avalanche, rather than a volcanic eruption, NASA said.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory field engineers on July 10, 2025, visited monitoring stations downwind of the Kīlauea summit eruptive vents. They wore snowshoes, as the large footprint keeps the field engineers walking on top of the frothy pumice everywhere instead of sinking through it. (Photo Courtesy: US Geological Survey/M.Warren)
