The latest eruption from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano shot lava 1,200 feet high into the sky and went on for 9 hours. But it was something else, happening in the distance, that’s getting a lot of the attention.

Lava in Hawaii, seismic shaking in Alaska and underwater rumblings near Oregon. Scientists say it’s not the end of the world, but it’s definitely worth watching.

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,

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)

HAWAI‘I VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK >> It was all but silent on a recent morning at Uekahuna, the newly restored viewing area overlooking the summit of Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii island. A few visitors trickled onto the lookout,

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.

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.

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.
