Episode 8 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption at Kīlauea began at 9:52 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 3, 2025 and is currently fountaining from the north vent, according to the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

Earlier in the day, on February 3, small spatter fountains began to appear and intensified as the afternoon wore on, before eruptive activity escalated into sustained lava fountaining just before 10 p.

The eruption that began Dec. 23 resumed Monday, preceded by small, sporadic spatter fountains that continued to increase in intensity to reach "sustained fountaining," the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.
