The Island of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano is wowing visitors with fountain heights not seen in over 50 years. Last month, the lava fountain reached a height of over 1,000 feet, and it could potentially do it again.

Scientists are bracing for high lava fountains in the latest episode of an ongoing eruption of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano.

The episodic summit eruption of Kilauea in Halema‘uma‘u crater has been going on for over three months now, with sixteen eruptive episodes displaying lava fountains and lava flows within Kaluapele (the summit caldera).
