Scientists said “episode 17” of Kilauea Volcano’s ongoing eruption ended at 9:45 a.m. today after low fountaining stopped at the south vent.

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano is erupting episodically, and as it progresses, the lava fountain's heights are rising.

The eruption restarted at midday when when molten rock began pouring out of a vent in Kilauea’s summit caldera, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said in a statement. The lava was contained within the caldera inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and wasn’t affecting any residential areas.
