Kilauea’s latest eruption episode in Halemaumau crater has come to an abrupt halt, geologists said today. The lava fountains that began Monday evening stopped by 10:47 a.m. today, marking the end of the seventh lava flow episode in the on-again, off-again summit eruption that started Dec. 23.

Violent eruptions have started up again in Hawaii, with fountains of lava shooting hundreds of feet into the air and toxic gas belching from the crater.

One of the world’s most active volcanoes, located in Kilauea, Hawaii, erupted for the seventh time since December on Monday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Kilauea is bursting with fountains of lava in its latest volcanic activity that began this evening. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that small spatter fountains were coming from Kilauea at 1:30 p.
