Yesterday, on December 6, 2025, Hawaii’s iconic Kilauea volcano put on a fiery show, sending lava fountains as tall as 30 m into the air. 🌋 The eruption was so intense that it even knocked out a remote monitoring camera mid-recording!
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) released raw footage showing streams of molten lava bursting from the volcano’s north vent (the main opening where magma escapes). These fountains reached heights between 15 and 30 meters — about the size of a 10-story building! 🏢
Remote cameras like these are vital for scientists tracking volcanic activity in real time. When the camera feed cut off, it offered a dramatic reminder of how powerful natural forces can be — and how tech meets nature in unexpected ways. 📹⚡
For young explorers and travel fans across South and Southeast Asia, Kilauea remains a bucket-list destination (think volcano hikes on Hawaii’s Big Island). While safety protocols mean visitors keep their distance, live streams and footage like this bring the action right to your phone — no sunscreen required. 😎📱
Stay tuned for more updates as the USGS continues to monitor Kilauea’s activity. Follow official channels for live feeds, and keep an eye out next time you’re geeking out over Earth’s raw power! 🌍✨
